This is a template repository for bootstrapping your dotfiles with Dotbot.
To get started, you can create a new repository from this template
(or you can fork this repository, if you prefer). You can probably
delete this README and rename your version to something like just dotfiles
.
In general, you should be using symbolic links for everything, and using git submodules whenever possible.
To keep submodules at their proper versions, you could include something like
git submodule update --init --recursive
in your install.conf.yaml
.
To upgrade your submodules to their latest versions, you could periodically run
git submodule update --init --remote
.
If you're looking for inspiration for how to structure your dotfiles or what kinds of things you can include, you could take a look at some repos using Dotbot.
- anishathalye's dotfiles
- csivanich's dotfiles
- m45t3r's dotfiles
- alexwh's dotfiles
- azd325's dotfiles
- wazery's dotfiles
- thirtythreeforty's dotfiles
And there are about 700 more here.
If you're using Dotbot and you'd like to include a link to your dotfiles here as an inspiration to others, please submit a pull request.
