Usage

There are many available solutions to manage dotfiles. I use a very simple approach. I have a dedicated folder repo, dotfiles, where i copy manually every files to track. After the first manually copy, i sync my dotfiles by --existing options of rsync, that syncs two folder only for files present in the destination. In my bash functions i have the function dots:

rsync -a -v --existing /home/lg/ /home/lg/code/dotfiles/

When on a new machine I clone my github dotfiles repository and copy manually configuration files in the right place. That’s all, not much automation but very simple.
