This repo lets you keep your dotfiles and preferences under version control without rooting a repo in ${HOME}.

all/home contains a replica of a home directory for all *nix systems with all the preferences and dotfiles that you want. osx/home contains osx specific addons. These files stay here and we'll create symlinks to them from your real home directory.

Whenever you add a new file to one of these home replicas or move a file within it, run link_files.py which 1) backs up the appropriate existing files 2) creates the necessary directories in your home folder, and 3) creates a symlink to every file in the home folders here. Existing are backed up to ${HOME}/.dotfiles_backup or ${HOME}/.dotfiles_backup_2 or ..._3 if the backup directory already exists, so you can safely run link_files.py all you want.

utils/colortest.sh is useful for picking bash prompt colors.

${HOME}/.bash_profile is fairly lightweight, but it sources all files found in ${HOME}/.profile_addons which contains alises.sh, functions.sh, bash_prompt.sh and a bunch of application-specific settings.

The first time you open vim, you should run :PlugInstall to install all plugins which are added with plug.vim in the .vimrc file.
