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
- bluekeys' 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.
