DanSchoppe dotfiles

Source-controlled system configuration files

Usage

This repo relies on GNU Stow to symlink dotfiles from this repository to the home directory.

$ git clone https://github.com/DanSchoppe/dotfiles.git
$ cd dotfiles
$ stow --target=$HOME */

Alternatively, stow packages one-at-a-time, like:

$ stow --target=$HOME emacs

After adding, moving, or deleting files, re-run stow by:

$ stow --target=$HOME --restow */
