SnapInteractive's dotfiles

Installation

Install dotfiles with Git

You can clone the repository wherever you want, the home directory is recommended.

The bootstrapper script will create symlinks in the home directory to the proper files.

When the git repo is updated, the files will be automatically updated when the session is restarted.

cd; git clone https://github.com/SnapInteractive/dotfiles.git .dotfiles && cd .dotfiles && ./bootstrap.sh

To update later on, just run git pull in ~/.dotfiles.

Install dotfiles without Git

To source these files, type:

cd; mkdir ~/.dotfiles 2> /dev/null && curl -#L https://github.com/SnapInteractive/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -C ~/.dotfiles -xzv --strip-components 1 && cd ~/.dotfiles && ./bootstrap.sh

To update later on, just run that command again, and will create backups to the current files with a *.bak extension.
