I keep my dotfiles in github too. In my repository, though, I have removed the dot so that I can easily see them. Then I clone the repo to ~/.dotfiles and use a script to create simlinks from the expected locations, so ~/.vimrc is a link to ~/.dotfiles/vimrcFor some files that might contain private info, like my github token in .gitconfig, I use templates, which are nothing but shell scripts that ask for the private parameters and output the file with them on. You can take a look (and use the installer script that creates the simlinks and copies) at my dotfiles repository on github: https://github.com/jdevera/dotfiles Hope that helps. Oh, and if you search for dotfiles as repository name in github, you'll find that there are many more approaches to this, good luck :) -- Jacobo de Vera http://www.jacobodevera.com -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
