Commands to set up Dotfiles

git clone https://github.com/fallinginenigma/dotfiles.git --recursive

cd dotfiles && ./install

Merge Git to GitHub

git add .

git commit -m 'add some message'

git push origin main

Errors I ran into

  • Adding submodules in .gitmodules
    • Adding Vim plugins
    • Adding zsh plugins
  • Mis-spelling Solarized as Solarised with an ‘s’ instead of a ‘z’
  • Configuring the YAML file
    • Adding appropriate whitespace characters
    • Adding force: true to force symbolic link
    • Adding the command [git submodule update --init --recursive, Installing/updating submodules]
    • Running the same command in ‘~/dotfiles’ to see if there is something wrong
