Dotfiles Template
=================

This is a template repository for bootstraping your dotfiles with [Dotbot][dotbot].

To get started, you can [fork][fork] this repository (and 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`.

Inspiration
-----------

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][anishathalye_dotfiles]
* [csivanich's dotfiles][csivanich_dotfiles]
* [m45t3r's dotfiles][m45t3r_dotfiles]

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.
