my dotfiles

This is my personal setup of dotfiles I use on my workstations.

install

The installation process should backup any existing dotfiles that will be replaced in dotfiles/backup.

$ git clone https://github.com/traplol/dotfiles.git
$ cd dotfiles
$ ./install.sh -c

options

see: $ dotfiles/install.sh --help for a full list of options

-c --clone-submodules       Clones any git submodules
-n --no-link                Doesn't create any sym links to the dotfiles, effectively this doesn't install.
-u --update                 Checks for updates.
-g --generate               Creates a directory and copies the boostrap installer to the new directory.

--uninstall                 Restores backups that were automatically generated.

using -g --generate

Using $ dotfiles/install.sh -g DIRECTORY_NAME will generate a directory called DIRECTORY_NAME and copy bootstrap.sh.template there as bootstrap.sh. You should never need to run this script as it is automatically called by running dotfiles/install.sh. Once the directory has been created just copy any .dotfiles or .dotfolders here without the preceding dot.

Ex:

.vim -> vim
.vimrc -> vimrc
.tmux -> tmux

Once the dotfiles have been copied just run dotfiles/install.sh to backup and create the symbolic links.
