dotfiles

Author:	Jānis Ābele <janis.abele@gmail.com>

Authors preferred workstation setup. Linux only.

Install

Clone onto your workstation:

git clone git://github.com/abele/dotfiles.git

Install rcm:

sudo emerge layman
sudo layman -f --overlays
https://github.com/bronislav/overlays/raw/master/layman.xml --add bronislav
sudo emerge rcm

Install the dotfiles:

env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

This command will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. Setting the RCRC environment variable tells rcup to use standard configuration options:

Exclude the README.rst file, which are part of the dotfiles repository but do not need to be symlinked in.
Give precedence to personal overrides which by default are placed in ~/dotfiles-local

You can safely run rcup multiple times to update:

rcup
