Setup Notes

0. The install.sh contains an array of files that should be linked. Be sure to update that if you add/rename a file!

1. Clone the dotfiles repo into a reasonable location on the new host, e.g., ~/workspace/dotfiles

2. Pull in the submodules: ./update_submodules.sh

3. Install the links to files in the home directory: ./install.sh. This command will also check to see if Vundle is installed. Note that it is safe to re-run this when new files are added.

OS X Extra Steps

• Set some reasonable defaults by executing some of the commands in osx (read what they do first - don't just blindly execute that as a script!)
• Be sure homebrew is installed

Attribution

I try to leave a comment where it isn't obvious where something came from originally, but there are some significant areas where I have been remiss. In general what you're seeing here is years and years of tweaks and tips picked up along the way from others.

Historical note

The files and directories to-be-linked were previously identified with a .symlink extension (which was stripped via basename upon install). This is no longer the case because Github has a hard time determining the syntax of files named this way.
