Do you need to have the dotfiles in your home folder, and then also dotfiles in the version control folder?

您是否需要将点文件放在主文件夹中，然后将点文件放在版本控制文件夹中？

Like, the class instructors have linked our dotfiles.

And this is what we usually call " dotfiles" , because they start with a dot for historical reasons.

这就是我们通常所说的“点文件”，因为由于历史原因它们以点开头。

Then I'm going to explain what dotfiles are and how to configure your shell.

然后我将解释什么是点文件以及如何配置您的 shell。

Oh, sorry, any other questions about dotfiles?

So what people usually do is they create a dotfiles repository, and then they have entries here for their bashrc and their vimrc.

因此，人们通常做的是创建一个 dotfiles 存储库，然后在此处为其 bashrc 和 vimrc 提供条目。

So for example, here we are on GitHub, we search for dotfiles, and can see that there are like thousands of repositories of people sharing their configuration files.

例如，我们在 GitHub 上搜索点文件，可以看到有数千个共享配置文件的存储库。

That's kind of another use case where like symlinks could be really useful So you don't need the folder dotfiles to be in the home directory, right?

这是另一种用例，其中符号链接可能非常有用所以您不需要将文件夹 dotfiles 放在主目录中，对吗？

Lastly one thing I want to mention about dotfiles is that people not only try to push these files into GitHub just so other people can read it, that's one reason.

最后我想提到的关于点文件的一件事是，人们不仅尝试将这些文件推送到 GitHub，以便其他人可以阅读它，这是原因之一。

This solution is much better than something like creating an alias for SSH, because other programs like SCP and RSYNC also know about the dotfiles for SSH and will use them whenever they are there.

此解决方案比为 SSH 创建别名之类的方法要好得多，因为 SCP 和 RSYNC 等其他程序也知道 SSH 的点文件，并且只要它们存在就会使用它们。
