Hello,

I have my configuration files in a Github project nicknamed 'alix':
https://github.com/hashar/alix

Whenever I join a new project I would fetch it under /home/hashar/alix
then edit my .bashrc:

 $ cat .bashrc
 . /home/hashar/alix/bashrc
 umask 0002

And my .vimrc:

 source $ALIX_DIR/vimrc
 "source /home/hashar/alix/vimrc

Where ALIX_DIR is set by bash using dirname:

 export ALIX_DIR=$(dirname $BASH_SOURCE)


If I ever need to switch to root, I will `sudo -s` which keep the
current user environment such as $HOME which then let vim and bash load
MY dotfiles :)
