Dotfiles

Clone dotfiles into ~

$ cd ~
$ git clone git@github.com:aminsaied/dotfiles.git

Delete all the dotfiles in ~, e.g.,

$ rm ~/.bashrc

or move them into dotfiles if you don't have it already

$ mv ~/.bashrc ~/dotfiles/.bashrc

Symlink from the dotfiles to ~

$ ln -nfs /home/amin/dotfiles/.bashrc /home/amin/.bashrc

These steps are automated in the dotfiles repo's bootstrap.sh script. Note, I do not recommend blindly running this script. It is very simple, so please read it and see what it is doing.
