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
