These are my .dotfiles I use across all machines I work on wich contain all my specific configurations. I followed the workflow from this guy > http://blog.smalleycreative.com/tutorials/using-git-and-github-to-manage-your-dotfiles/

It stores configuration for .dotfiles (.vimrc, .bashrc, .zshrc, .vim) in a single folder (called ~/dotfiles). It than symlinks original .dotfiles in home to those in newly created folder using a small script. That script also stores old configuration in ~/old_dotfiles folder to prevent mishaps.

• install git and config some of the global git parameters ( user.name, user.email, colors... )
• install ssh and generate public/pvt key pair with command ssh-keygen -t -rsa
• log into github and add your newly generated public key to SSH keys
• clone this repository with git clone git@github.com:ofcan/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
• make script executable with chmod +x make_sym_links.sh
• ./make_sym_links.sh to run it
• that should be it!

• make the changes
• commit and push
• note that you don't have to run ./make_sym_links.sh again. That is only necessary on the 1st configuration

Thanks for using my .dotfiles! If you have any idea on how to improve them, please do tell :)
