Machineconfig is a package 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
• ~/.config
• $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.
