Dot files are unix configuration files that contain your personalized settings for programs like Vim, Emacs, or tmux. If you use more than one unix machine, keeping these file in sync is much easier if they’re stored in Git. These instructions are how I do that.
Fork the GitHub repository
https://github.com/dotphiles/dotphiles
Set up for GitHub
If the machine hasn’t been set up with GitHib, follow these instructions
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git/
to install Git, set your commit name and email, and install GitHub credentials.
Clone the repository
git clone --recursive git@github.com:zymurgeek/dotphiles.git ~/.dotfiles
Do not leave off the recursive flag!
Manage dot files
See the instructions in ~/.dotfiles/README.md.
