# dotfiles

This is a repository with my configuration files, those that in Linux normally

are these files under the `$HOME` directory that are hidden and preceded by a

dot, AKA __dotfiles__



## Management



These configuration files are managed with the tool [GNU

Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow) that is not intented originally for

this purpose but works pretty well.



To use this configurations you only have to clone this repository in a directory

of your home directory (`~/dotfiles` by default) and then use stow to "install"

them, choosing the ones that you want to use.



For example to use the Vim configuration you only have to do this (from the

dotfiles directory):



`$ stow vim`



and it would create a symlink for `~/.vim` and `~/.vimrc` to the same files/dirs

in the `~/dotfiles/vim` folder of this repository. Those symbolic links only

would be created if not exists previously, in that case I recommend to make a

backup of the original files first.



To remove a configuration is also very easy with stow:



`$ stow -D vim`



and it would remove the symbolic links.



And if you make a git pull to update this repository, you can "reinstall" the

configurations to update them. Stow would first remove the previous symbolic

links and then create the new ones.



`$ stow -R vim`



Stow is a package that you can find in the majority of Linux distributions and

make the process of test/manage these configurations easier.
