Be careful installing dotfiles from a source you don't trust. Blindly running a dotfiles installer, or even just adding particular config files to your machine, can add some un-safe settings if you don't understand what you're doing.
Depending on the dotfiles repository you're using or if you're just managing it on your own , there are many different options for configuring and managing your dotfiles' installation process. I actually think this isn't a great idea, because it makes making and syncing changes with the repo a pain. I much prefer Zack Holman's method, which symlinks the files instead, allowing you to git pull and watch your dotfiles instantly update.
You can also manually copy files from your dotfiles directory to your root, or you can use one of several dotfiles maintenance apps--I don't have any experience with them, but a friend whom I trust recommended rcm , so I'll probably be trying that out soon, too. No matter where you got your dotfiles from, they're not unchangeable rules.
They're just suggestions. I suggest that if you get someone else's dotfiles repo, you start by reading through every file and understand what they're doing--and disabling anything you don't like. If you want to make a change later, just go to your home directory and edit those files. If you want to save your changes, and you're working from someone else's repo, fork that repo and clone the forked version instead. That way you can make your changes, and if you're symlinked, simply, and if you're not symlinked, with a wee bit of work push your changes back up to your repo.
Want to learn more? After talking up Zach Holman's dotfiles so much, I hope you'll consider checking them out. But--they weren't around when I really started digging into dotfiles, so I have my own, somewhat less modern set of dotfiles. I did update them a bit this week, but they're still based on copying instead of symlinking, etc.
Check both out Zack's Mine and pick those which you think are best. FYI, my next free weekend will be trying out Zack's, so mine might be on their way to the graveyard soon. But, I do want it to sync across my devices. So I set it up in my Dropbox folder and then symlink that file into my ssh folder. For example:.
Now we have an ssh config file that lives in our dropbox directory and will be synced across all of our machines every time we make a change -- without relying on putting our SSH information publicly on Github.
No more remembering ip addresses, fumbling with command line switches for multiple SSH IDs, or even remembering your ssh usernames. There are many more features you can manage via your SSH config file, if you want--ports, tunneling, and more. If you're not familiar with SSH Key authentication, you might be confused at how you could possibly authenticate with those web sites above without a password.

Several previous attempts, using suggestions in other terminal threads may have monkeyed with. Does anything pop to mind? I explain how to change the PATH for just your user in the follow-up post. You can read how to work with paths. Remote diagnosis is always fraught with misunderstandings and failure, but I believe you might be adding the path to the tool rather than the path to the directory containing the tool? PATH is a list of directories, containing the commands.
