## Dotfiles management
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any changes to dotfiles (shell configs, app configs, scripts, etc. that live
|
||
|
|
under `~/.dotfiles`) must be made by editing the files inside the
|
||
|
|
`~/.dotfiles` repo itself, NOT by editing the symlinked target files in place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `~/.dotfiles` uses a symlink system (see `link.sh` / `link-root.sh`) to
|
||
|
|
link its contents into their expected locations (e.g. `~/.config/*`,
|
||
|
|
`~/.vimrc`, etc.).
|
||
|
|
- Always locate and edit the source file under `~/.dotfiles`, then verify
|
||
|
|
the symlink is in place (run `~/.dotfiles/link.sh` if a new file needs to
|
||
|
|
be linked).
|
||
|
|
- After making changes, consider committing them in the `~/.dotfiles` git
|
||
|
|
repo.
