Dotfiles management package

Welcome to machinesetup

Hiddenfiles is a repo for managing configuration files (aka dotfiles). The idea is to collect those critical, time-consuming-files-to-setup in one directory and reference them via symbolic links from their original locations. Thus, when a new machine is to be setup, all that is required is 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. 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.
