code.delx.au - dotfiles/blob - README

   1 This is a set of configuration files for a bunch of Unix apps I use regularly.
   2
   3 The way I usually use this is as follows. Change the lines as appropriate for
   4 your system.
   5
   6 Install Git:
   7         $ sudo aptitude install git-core
   8
   9 Change into your home directory and make a clone of the repository:
  10         $ cd
  11         $ git clone http://delx.net.au/git/dotfiles .dotfiles
  12
  13 Make a backup of any existing files:
  14         $ mkdir backup
  15         $ mv .bash .bash_profile .bashrc .gitconfig .hgrc .inputrc .pythonrc.py .screenrc .terminfo .vim .vimrc backup/
  16
  17 Symlink the config files into your home directory:
  18         $ ln -sf .dotfiles/{.bash,.bash_profile,.bashrc,.gitconfig,.hgrc,.inputrc,.pythonrc.py,.screenrc,.terminfo,.vim,.vimrc} .
  19         $ ln -s .dotfiles/.ssh/config .ssh/

  22 You can add machine specific configs to the bash init scripts by creating files
  23 in ~/.bash called environment_local, interactive_local, functions_local, etc
  24 Also, learn how to use Git and use it to version control other config files
  25 of yours.
