README

        
Dotfiles Template

=================

This is a template repository for bootstrapping your dotfiles with [Dotbot][dotbot].

To get started, you can [create a new repository from this template][template]

(or you can [fork][fork] this repository, if you prefer). You can probably

delete this README and rename your version to something like just `dotfiles`.

In general, you should be using symbolic links for everything, and using git

submodules whenever possible.

To keep submodules at their proper versions, you could include something like

`git submodule update --init --recursive` in your `install.conf.yaml`.

To upgrade your submodules to their latest versions, you could periodically run

`git submodule update --init --remote`.
