You can't know when the cup of tea will fall on your laptop.

Almost all of my configs were built taking pieces of other people's dotfiles here and there. By sharing my personal configuration files I can give back to the community a bit of the knowledge I acquired in this process and also have the opportunity to receive feedbacks.

• Drew DeVault's dotfiles (if you don't know him take a look at his blog!)
• The Missing Semester of Your CS Education professors' .vimrc
• Arch Wiki
• Global .gitignore
• ohmyzsh (for aliases)
• Maxin Cardamom's dotfiles (take a look at his talk about vim's built-in capabilities)

gius@whitewolf:~$ rm .bashrc ; ln -s dotfiles/.bashrc .bashrc

Keep your dotfiles in a version controlled folder like this one and in your home directory create symbolic links for them. In this way whenever you change a config file in your home you'll have the change ready to be committed and pushed to your dotfiles repository. Viceversa, if you work on multiple computers and updated a config file on a different one than your current machine all you need to have the latest configuration is a git pull in the dotfiles directory.
