Installing on a new system

$ git clone https://github.com/psvenk/dotfiles
$ cd dotfiles
$ for f in $(git ls-files); do
> if [ -f "../$f" ]; then mv "../$f" "../$f.bak"; fi
> done
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf dotfiles
$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/psvenk/dotfiles && git fetch
$ git checkout -t origin/master
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ . .profile

If the system is not brand new, you may want to look through the environment variables set in ~/.profile and move files to their new locations (e.g. mv ~/.bash_history $HISTFILE).
