dotfiles

Requirements

In your ~/.bashrc, ensure that you are checking for the existence of everyone of these dotfiles, e.g., for .bash_aliases and .bash_functions, your ~/.bashrc might have something like:

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
	. ~/.bash_aliases
fi

if [ -f ~/.bash_functions ]; then
	. ~/bash_functions
fi

Install

1. git clone this repository to wherever you like, but probably your home directory.
2. In your home directory, create symlinks to to the files in this repository so that your ~/.bashrc can load them.

For example, if we have cloned the repository to ~, then we create symlinks by doing the following:

ln -s ~/dotfiles/.bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases

ln -s ~/dotfiles/.bash_exports ~/.bash_exports

ln -s ~/dotfiles/.bash_functions ~/.bash_functions
