+rcfiles
+*******
+
+A repository with my rc files. The purpose is for me to have revision control of
+my home dir, maybe send somebody a link to an example file and to be browsable
+for others (if anyone wants to copy some snippet). Because these are my actual
+files that I use right now, the repository is cloned directly to my home
+directory and is not meant for mass consumption as it is.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+WARNING: This will overwrite your existing files.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    git clone --recursive https://www.shore.co.il/git/rcfiles
+    cd rcfiles
+    mv -f $(ls -A) $HOME/
+    cd ..
+    rm -r files
