# dotfiles

|
|
## setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The way this repo is setup is that the .dotfiles directory is expected to be
|
||
|
|
the authoritative storage of all of the preferences file on a given machine.
|
||
|
|
The `install` script creates the necessary symlinks for these preference files
|
||
|
|
to be seen by the appropriate applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## sharing between WSL and Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use this repo to manage the preferences file of both a WSL
|
||
|
|
instance and its Windows host, clone this repo on WSL and then symlink the
|
||
|
|
directory into the home directory of the Windows host like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
C:\Users\Name>mklink /D .dotfiles \\wsl$\instance\home\name\.dotfiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can then navigate into the Linux directory from Windows, either on the
|
||
|
|
command line or in Explorer.exe. Using an administrator shell, run the install
|
||
|
|
script from the Windows side. Windows requires admin privileges in order to
|
||
|
|
make symbolic links, so you need an admin shell to register new links on
|
||
|
|
Windows.
