It's time to make as many as possible configuration files under version control.
This can also help me to sync configurations among computers or systems.
The master
branch is for general conditions. System based branches will be used
for different systems and/or environments.
git submodule init
git submodule update
Generally speaking, to use these configurations, just create symbol links from cloned folder to the desired destination.
On Linux and MacOS, simply use ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME
to create symbol links.
On Windows, there are several ways:
- Use
junction LINK_NAME TARGET_FOLDER
to create junction (soft) link to a folder; - Use
ln.exe TARGET_FILE LINK_NAME
to create hard link to a file. But the target and link name must be in the same driver. - Use
mklink
(should run as adiministrator) to create either kind of link:mklink LINK_NAME TARGET
to create a symbol link file.mklink /d LINK_NAME TARGET
to create a symbol link to a folder.mklink /j LINK_NAME TARGET
to create a junction.mklink /h LINK_NAME TARGET
to create a hard link.
