### Installation
You may want to backup your current dotfiles:
```
mv ~/.bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases-$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc-$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc-$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
mv ~/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig-$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
```
You'll want to make sure a couple of files exist to help extend this config with your own regardless if you use them:
Clone the repository:
```
touch ~/.gitconfig_other
touch ~/.other_aliases
```
`git clone https://github.com/krislamo/dotfiles.git`
Symbolic linking is currently based on the working directory, so you must run the install script while you are inside its directory. Navigate into the repository:
`cd dotfiles`
Now you will be successful running the install.sh script:
`bash install.sh`
Then install symlinks in their place:
```
git clone git@github.com:krislamo/dotfiles.git && \
cd dotfiles && \
ln -nsf $(pwd)/.bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases && \
ln -nsf $(pwd)/.bashrc ~/.bashrc && \
ln -nsf $(pwd)/.vimrc ~/.vimrc && \
ln -nsf $(pwd)/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
```
