# dotfiles

A collection of configuration files meant to be used with GNU stow, hence the directory structure.


## Link configurations with GNU stow
Make sure to have `stow` installed.
Navigate into your local copy of the repository, usually `~/dotfiles`.
Create links to the configurations with:
```
    stow <package>
```
for example
```
    stow bashrc
```
It is important to execute this and similar commands in the root directory of the repository `~/dotfiles` unless you specify source and target locations manually.


## Ideas for scripts

* (sed) script to reformat text files for a configurable line length.
