How does it works?
Suppose that we have a file named /home/meck/.zshrc.
When you run dotbox add .zshrc, it equals running following commands:
$ mv /home/meck/.zshrc /home/meck/Dropbox/Apps/Dotbox/.zshrc
$ ln -s /home/meck/Dropbox/Apps/Dotbox/.zshrc /home/meck/.zshrc
When you run dotbox remove .zshrc, it equals running following commands:
$ rm /home/meck/.zshrc
$ mv /home/meck/Dropbox/Apps/Dotbox/.zshrc /home/meck.zshrc
When you run dotbox restore it will link all files in dropbox to their original positions.
Not only dotfiles
Dotbox can take care of any files or directories under your $HOME directory. For example:
$ dotbox add .oh-my-fish/custom
