Tucker's Dotfiles
=================

These dotfiles are here mostly to move them between my computers and 
as a backup, but feel free to use them yourself.

vim plugins
-----------
I keep my vim plugins as submodules in this repo, I use
`github.com/tuckerevans/plugVim <https://www.github.com/tuckerevans/plugvim>`_
to manage them.


Installation
------------

dotfiles
********

.. note :: 
  I recommend backing up any existing dotfiles you have before
  installing these, you can do this with the following command
  :code:`cp .dotfile_to_backup .dotfile_to_backup.bak`


I recomend using `stow <https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/>`_ to
manage these files. This can be done with the following commands.

1.  :code:`cd ~`
2.  :code:`git clone https://github.com/tuckerevans/dotfiles`
3.  :code:`cd dotfiles`
4.  Run :code:`stow [program]` for each program's dotfiles you want to use

      *Example:* :code:`stow vim` or :code:`stow mutt`
