These are some of my .files
Files in the root of the directory are symbolically linked to corresponding files in ~/
Note, to symbolically link a file, you must do ln -s ~/Documents/dotfiles/.file ~/.file, i.e., the paths must be
absolute paths (use of the ~ shortcut is OK). See
http://superuser.com/questions/302312/how-to-properly-store-dotfiles-in-a-centralized-git-repository.
Files in other/ are for various other things.
First, you have to install Anaconda, and Fink, and git (to even get this in the first place).
Run
./linkfiles.py
and then
./gitclones.sh
For Linux, some files that go in the root directory (/) are in root/.
They aren't linked automatically yet.
