Backup home config files
Dotfiles is a tool for managing dotfile symlinks in $HOME
. I used it as a backup solution for my config files on a git repository.
First install it :
sudo easy_install dotfiles
The default repository is '~/Dotfiles' you can change it by adding this section in '~/.dotfilesrc' file :
[dotfiles]
repository = ~/Path/Of/Repo
Now add your files by :
dotfiles -a .file_name
You can see the list of files :
dotfiles -l
And sync it :
dotfiles -s
