Use
git clone --recursive [email protected]:musoke/dotfiles.git
to clone the repository and submodules.
Use stow to symlink files to the appropriate locations. For example, to install git configuration:
stow git
I use Pathogen to manage Vim plugins.
To initialize them (if --recursive not used when cloning), use
git submodule update --init --recursive
To add a new plugin,
cd dotfiles/.vim
git submodule add https://github.com/foo/bar.git bundle/bar
To update one plugin,
git submodule update --remote path/to/plugin/
To update all plugins,
git submodule update --remote
Adding a tilde to the end of the directory containing a bundle will cause it to be ignored by Pathogen.
