Some helpful scripts to ease life. To get things set up (assuming that you cloned this in ~/scripts):

Edit your ~.gitconfig to look like:

[user]
        email = <your_email>
        name = <your_name>
[include]
        path = ~/scripts/gitconfig

To use the provided inputrc as the local one create a symlink to it:

$ ln -s scripts/bash/inputrc ~/.inputrc
