This directory contaions the dotfiles for my arch system
Ensure you have the following installed on your system
pacam -S git
pacman -S stow
Check out the dotfiles repo in your $HOME directory using
$ git clone [email protected]:LIEeOoNn/dotfiles.git
$ cd dotfiles
then use stow to create symlinks
$ stow .

Helps with overlooking dotfiles through the dotfiles dir.
the dotfile needs to be at the same place in the dotfile tree, then in the $HOME tree.
e.g. ~/.bashrc == dotfiles/.bashrc
Copy the desired dotfile to the correct place in the dotfiles tree, corresponding to the $HOME tree:
cp ~/.bashrc ~/dotfiles/
Use ls -lha to see if the symlink is correct
Delete/renmae the original dotfile from the $HOME folder (rename is prefered):
mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak
Now we only need to run
$ stow .
in the dotfiles directory and the symlink will be created.
