Thanks to Balkian for introducing me to this world. Based on https://github.com/balkian/dotfiles.git
The Git Way:
git clone https://github.com/alvarocarrera/dotfiles.git
The fast way:

make
Each folder contains the configuration files for a specific program, as they would appear under "$HOME" (~). To install them, first initialize the submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Then, you can use the GNU Stow utility to link the files to the appropriate folder:
stow <modules that you want to install>
Alternatively, you may simply copy the files to your $HOME folder.
