Most of the time I'm on my main +computer, but I can be working on a server or a different workstation. +In this case, I like to have all my configurations for zsh, vim, screen, +etc. + +So, instead of copying my files over different computers, I put +everything in a private repostiroy, and when I'm on a new computer, I +just have to checkout it. If I do a modification on a machine, I just +need to commit it, and I can have the modification everywhere else. + +I've got a $HOME/dotfiles directory, which is versionned (with git in my +case). All my configurations file are stored here. + +In this directory, as I'm avery lazy person, I've created a Makefile. +Each time I create a new file, I add it to the makefile at the same +time.
