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.
more dotfiles
www.dotfiles.com has lots of dotfiles. Lots!
