# All Hail Dotfiles

These are my UNIX-y configuration files, known colloquially as "dotfiles"

because most of them begin with a period (a "dot"). These configurations are

used in OS X, so some may not be applicable or may not work properly at all in

other environments. Most should work in flavors of Linux, though.

*Important note:* These are my personal configuration files, which are in a

constant state of change as I develop my environment across several systems. I

can't guarantee that these configurations will work for you, at all, so if you

encounter problems with them, you're pretty much on your own.

## Linking

I have also provided a handy bash script called `linkall` that will handle the

arduous process of symlinking each of these configurations into your home

directory. Why would I do this? So that these files can live in their own

directory as an isolated git repository and also function as configuration files

in your home directory at the same time. Simply run `linkall` and you're done.

## Usage

Usage is straightforward.

```bash

$ git clone https://github.com/aaronbieber/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

$ ~/dotfiles/linkall

```

My `.bashrc` file is now capable of environments. To take advantage of

environment partitions, export the `MY_LOCATION` environment variable from your

`.bash_profile` and then source the `.bashrc` file, like so:

```bash

#!/bin/bash

export MY_LOCATION=home

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

	source ~/.bashrc

fi

```
