I was gonna use your tool for it!\r\n\r\nThe first question is about the config, though. In the example config, and in other configs I've seen, there's this line:\r\n\r\n```\r\n- link:\r\n    ~/.dotfiles: ''\r\n```\r\n\r\nThis causes this output (removed useless lines):\r\n```\r\n~/.dotfiles already exists but is a regular file or directory\r\nSome links were not successfully set up\r\n==> Some tasks were not executed successfully\r\n```\r\n\r\nCan you explain this? I don't really get it."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/comments/132791345","html_url":"https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/50#issuecomment-132791345","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/50","id":132791345,"user":{"login":"Brottweiler","id":1613137,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1613137?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler","html_url":"https://github.com/Brottweiler","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Brottweiler/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-19T21:27:09Z","updated_at":"2015-08-19T21:27:09Z","body":"Ah alright, I had my dotfiles in `~/dotfiles` first but noticing that line in the config I moved it. \r\n\r\nThat's good to know, thanks!"}}
