-I use Pathogen with git sumbodules to manage vim plugins, so clone the plugins
-too (if you care about vim):

- $ cd ~/.dotfiles
- $ git submodule update --init

-This next step is supposed to back up your existing dotfiles before replacing
-them, but since you're smart and I'm just some random guy on the internet,
-you'll back up anything you care about by hand first and you won't blame me if
-anything goes wrong. Once that's done, you're ready to install your dotfiles:
+Then run the deploy script:
$ sh deploy.sh
-This script will back up any existing dotfiles to `$REPODIR/dotfiles-backup/`
-and then replace the dotfiles in question with symlinks into the repo. It will
-also create a file called `.zshrc-local` (if one doesn't already exist) where
-you can set up any custom local behavior. Take a look inside the file for ideas.
+This script does the following:
+ - Clear out `$PWD/dotfiles-backup/`.
+ - Back up any existing dotfiles to `$PWD/dotfiles-backup/`.
+ - Replace existing dotfiles with symlinks to the corresponding file in the

+ - Clone Vundle into `~/.vim/bundle/vundle/` and run `BundleInstall`.

+The prompt will highligh the local host name in red unless `ZSH_LOCAL_ENV=true`
+is set. That's a good one for `~/.zshrc-local`.
