The directory 'configs' contains my dotfiles and configs for a linux environment.

They can be installed by the following rake commands:

rake -T # to see tasks
rake install # to install configs

The submodules can be updated by running these commands, then committing the changes:

git submodule foreach git checkout master
git submodule foreach git pull

Configs can be removed by a command similar to:

find /home/vagrant/ -lname '*.dotfiles*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

Just replace the -lname search which the dotfiles cloned directory
