The Nitro Dotfiles!

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

Introduction

------------

Many out there using symbolic links to setup dotfiles but using git we can have

our repository in a folder and set our working tree to another one. I use the

latter approach to maintain my dotfiles and configured installations to set it

up this way.

Installation

------------

If you want to try it out please first be cautious of any unwanted configuration

you may encounter; Then:

To clone the repo and set it up, Run:

```bash

curl -Lks https://git.io/vXmwx | $(which bash)

```

and to install dependencies:

```bash

cd; sh install

```

Done. everything is up and running!

Maintainance

------------

Because of the repository's neat setup technique, we use `nit`( pronounced like `git`

and not neat, for nitro you know ;) ) for **configuration versioning** like:

```bash

nit status

nit add .vimrc

nit commit -m "Add vimrc"

...

```

**NOTE** that we only use `nit` for configuration files. Of course for other repos we

should use normal `git` command.
