# Dotfiles
My personal dotfiles! I use [`fling`](https://github.com/bbkane/fling/) to manage most app configs.
## Install/Symlink
```bash
fling --ignore 'README.*' --src-dir link
```
fling will prompt before symlinking
## Uninstall/Unlink
```bash
fling --ignore 'README.*' --src-dir unlink
```
fling will prompt before unlinking
## Apps that cannot be installed with fling
- vscode has an install script in the subfolder
## Add a flingable config to the repo
- make a directory with the name of an app
- mirror app config's file structure from `~` into `.//`, replacing leading `.` with `dot-`. For example, if your app's config is stored at `~/.myapp/config`, then make `./dot-myapp/config`
# Notes
Why store config per app rather than per platform?
- I can easily see which apps have configs stored in this repo
- I want to target which configs are deployed
- Most of my work is on Mac, not the various Linux distros I used to play with

The `cat` commands need to quote `'EOF'` to not expand variables. See
