I'm always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in automation and optimization. pengwynn and I put together the unofficial guide to dotfiles to help everyone do the same. If you have any tricks of your own that you'd like to share, let us know on twitter - @octodots.
Everything is built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your
forked dotfiles — say, "Ruby" — you can simply add a ruby directory and put
files in there.
git clone https://github.com/adamyonk/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfilescd ~/.dotfiles./script/bootstrap
This project began as a fork of (and is heavily inspired by) holman's dotfiles, and much of it's ease is due to him. Lots of tag-teaming with pengwynn. Some of the vim setup was borrowed from skwp's dotfiles.
If you've got a great set of dots (or want to get started), check out dotfiles.github.com. Ping @octodots with great dot sets you've found or tips and tricks for your favorite tools.
