masterkale / dotfiles Goto Github PK

So I saw you opted for symbolic linking, but if you don't mind, let me share what I do 😄

In your .gitignore, ignore everything. E.g:

**/*

And then to add files, simply force add them:

git add -f [MY_FILE_HERE]

That way, you always have files in the correct place, and it's super easy :)

Also, you want to clone the repo, and then copy everything into your $HOME directory. See my my script here.

See this dotfiles guide for more info.

Anyways, sorry for being nosy, just saw and thought I might try to help ❤️
