Install

You probably don't want to use the install method if you're not me, but rather just pick and copy things you like into your own setup.

If you are me, you (me) can install all dotfiles including all system packages I use for my system as follows:

$ make install

On Arch Linux this essentially provisions and entire desktop system. The script is idempotent so can be rerun freely.

However, to forcibly update some things as well, use this instead:

$ make update
