README

          
This repository contains the dotfiles I use on my standard Linux install, using Bash, plus a small python script which "installs" them in the home directory, either as a symbolic link (default) or by copying the files.

Usage:

```

usage: install_dotfiles.py [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] [-c] [-hd HOME]

                           [-bl BACKUP_LOC] [-r] [-e EXCLUDE] [-i INCLUDE]

                           [-a ADDITIONAL]

Install dotfiles as symbolic links to this directory.

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY

                        Directory where the dotfiles are stored.

  -c, --copy            Use the -c flag if you want to copy these files to the

                        home directory instead of using symbolic links.

  -hd HOME, --home HOME

                        Use to specify where the home directory is (default is

                        ~)

  -bl BACKUP_LOC, --backup-loc BACKUP_LOC

                        Location to back up old files that are not already

                        symbolic links to these dotfiles.

  -r, --restore         Restores dotfiles from the backup location when the

                        dotfile exists both as a symbolic link and in the

                        backup location.

  -e EXCLUDE, --exclude EXCLUDE

                        Semicolon-delimited list of dotfiles to ignore.

  -i INCLUDE, --include INCLUDE

                        Semicolon-delimited list of dotfiles to include. If

                        unspecified, all files starting with . will be

                        included.

  -a ADDITIONAL, --additional ADDITIONAL

                        If specified, this should point to a file containing a

                        newline-delimited list of files to install above and

                        beyond the -i argument. These should be absolute or

                        relative to the current directory, and all must exist.

```

By default, your existing dotfiles will be backed up in the 'backup' file.
