# This script can be called from the home directory if you wish.
# It can also be called from within its own directory.

# The script will first attempt to rename its directory to .dotfiles.
# This will only be done if it is not already called that, and when
# a directory with that name doesn't already exists.

# Then it will start overwriting the original dotfiles with symbolic
# links to the dotfiles in this directory.

# Then it will attempt to create 3 common directories in the user's
# home directory.

# Then it will create symbolic links in the ~/bin directory pointing
# to the scripts in the bin directory.
