   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 your system.
   4
   5 Install Git:
   6     $ sudo aptitude install git-core
   7
   8 Change into your home directory and make a clone of the repository:
   9     $ cd
  10     $ git clone http://delx.net.au/git/dotfiles .dotfiles
  11
  12 Make a backup of any existing files:
  13     $ mkdir backup
  14     $ mv .bash .bash_profile .bashrc .gitconfig .hgrc .inputrc .pythonrc.py .screenrc .terminfo .vim .vimrc backup/
  15
  16 Symlink the config files into your home directory:
  17     $ ln -sf .dotfiles/{.bash,.bash_profile,.bashrc,.gitconfig,.hgrc,.inputrc,.pythonrc.py,.screenrc,.terminfo,.vim,.vimrc} .
  18     $ ln -s .dotfiles/.ssh/config .ssh/
  19
  20 Symlink the git hooks
  21     $ cd .dotfiles && rm -rf hooks && ln -s ../git-hooks hooks
  22
  23 You can add machine specific configs to the bash init scripts by creating files 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 of yours.
