Welcome to Dotfiles

Dotfiles is a repo for managing dotfiles. The idea is to collect those time-consuming files to setup in one directory and reference them via symbolic links from there original locations. Thus, when a new machine is required to be setup, all that is required to clone the repo in that machine and create the symbolic links.

Dotfiles include, but are not limited to:

• ~/.gitconfig
• ~/.ssh
• ~/.aws
• ~/.bash_profile
• ~/.bashrc
• $profile in Windows Powershell
• etc

Additionally, files that contain data, sensitive information that should not be pushed to a repository are contained in a directory ~/dotfiles (not to be confused with name of this repo which lives in ~/code/dotfiles) and are referenced from here. The files therein are encrypted before backedup.

Additionally, scripts to perform setup of new machines and perform mundane tasks are maintained here in scripts. The repo uses Python to perform the tasks.
