my dotfiles

I keep all of my beloved UNIX dotfiles online here:

   dotfiles

The three most important files to me are:

  • .bashrc
  • .bashrc_aliases
  • .vimrc

I tried to get all of the bash dot files to work on both Linux and BSD, with Linux being favored. I don't like my dotfiles to depend too much on the platform I'm running on. This doesn't always work too well with older BSD systems.

.dotfiles sync script

I have a shell script that I can run to periodically pull down the latest versions and update my home directory:

   .dotfiles

The first thing I do on a new system is grab the .dotfiles script and then run it to download and sync all the other dotfiles. You have to chmod 755 the script to run it.

I considered using something like SVN to store these dot files, but I found this little script simpler and quicker for my needs.
