Use this on a new machine

The structure of this repo represents the home dir.

Add config to this repo

Let's say we want to add our existing ~/.gitconfig to our dotfiles repo.

1. Back up the original file

2. Move it into the repo

3. Run stow .

   cp ~/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig.bak
   mv ~/.gitconfig ~/dotfiles
   stow .

4. Push your git changes

Top level config

The files in the top level of this repo will go straight to the home folder

.zshrc for zsh shell config and aliases .gitconfig for global git config .vimrc for some old school vim config

Todo

Notes to self, this is probably not relevant to you, dear reader
