Cygwin configuration files
==========================
-My Cygwin home (`~`) configuration files.
+Personal Cygwin environment.
+The files are maintained in this repository and synced across different
+machines using [config-links].
+
+[config-links]: https://github.com/egor-tensin/config-links
Deployment
----------
-To deploy on a fresh Cygwin installation, execute the lines below.
-**Be careful** though, some of your files will be **deleted**.
-Basically, every file/directory **not** listed in ".gitignore" will be deleted.
-Execute the lines below one-by-one and, **most importantly**, review the list
-of files `git clean` will delete by adding the `--dry-run` parameter.
-
- git init
- curl --silent --show-error --location https://github.com/egor-tensin/cygwin-home/raw/master/.gitignore -o .gitignore
- git clean -d --force
-
- git remote add origin https://github.com/egor-tensin/cygwin-home.git
- git pull origin master
- git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master
-
-The deployment should preferably take place right after you install Cygwin.
-
-File permissions
-----------------
-
-`git` doesn't preserve file permissions.
-After the deployment, anyone will be able to read any of the files in the
-repository.
-To adjust the permissions so that only you can read the files, `source`
-".bashrc" (`bash` does this automatically) and execute:
-
- ( cd && tighten_repo_security )
+Using [config-links]:
-This also makes sure the directories in the repository are accessible only by
-yourself (including the ".git" directory).
+ > pwd
+ /cygdrive/d/workspace/personal/cygwin-home
-The important thing to note is that the permissions are reset each time `git`
-writes to a file.
-It is thus necessary to execute the line above after each invokation of `git
-pull`, `git checkout`, etc.
