Intro

My dotfiles are managed with GNU stow, a free, portable, lightweight symlink farm manager. This enables the possibility to keep a versioned directory of all my config files that are virtually linked into place via a single command. Please take a look at the documentation to learn more.

Prerequisites

All you need is GNU stow.

(e.g. on Debian: sudo apt-get install stow, on OSX: brew install stow)

Install

1. clone the repository : git clone https://github.com/browser-bug/dotfiles ~/ ; cd ~/dotfiles
2. first of all install package stow to get the ignore file list ready to go stow -v -t ~ stow
3. you can install desired packages via stow --dotfiles -t ~ -v <directory_name>+

stow -h to see all options available.

If you want to install everything in one shot:

1. stow --dotfiles -t ~ -v */

Note0: the default stow_target_dir is set to your $HOME.
