Sync Config Files with Dropbox

I just moved some important configuration files into my Dropbox folder so that my command line utilities and preferences follow me across multiple machines. Plus, I know have a backup of these files, which have been continually customized over years and are very valuable to me now. I highly recommend doing this.

mv ~/.bash_profile ~/Dropbox/nix/bash_profile
ln -s ~/Dropbox/nix/bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
mv ~/.vimrc ~/Dropbox/nix/vimrc
ln -s ~/Dropbox/nix/vimrc ~/.vimrc
mv ~/.ssh ~/Dropbox/nix/ssh
ln -s ~/Dropbox/nix/ssh ~/.ssh

Having all your ssh-logins immediately work on a new machine is just lovely.
