I want to create my own automated dotfiles folder. (I\'ll be using git to use version control on my dotfiles, but that\'s irrelevant for the question)
What i simply want
I am not sure if I'm getting the question right, but if you looking for symlinks of dir-content, try
for f in `ls -1 .dotfiles` do ln -s .dotfiles/$f ~/$f done
maybe that already does the trick
