-You pass the directories of "topics" you want to install and it will:
-
-1. symlink `$topic/bin/*` to `~/.bin/`
-2. symlink `$topic/.*` to `~/` _and_ `$topic/.*/*` to `~/.$1/` (i.e. 2-level
-   symlinking). e.g.  `os/arch/.Xresources` will be symlinked to
-   `~/.Xresources`, and `os/arch/.config/redshift.conf` will be symlinked to
-   `~/.config/redshift.conf` (`~/.config` is not a symlink).
-3. run `$topic/install` the first time
-4. run `$topic/update` on consecutive runs
-5. symlink `$topic` to `$DOTFILES/.enabled.d/` to keep track of what's enabled.
-   Running `bootstrap` without arguments will run this process on all
-   enabled topics in `.enabled.d/`.

-To update the topics that you've already enabled, simply run `bootstrap`, and it

+# 2. Symlinks dotfiles to $HOME

-A few good-to-knows (where $topic is an enabled topic):
-
-+ zshrc auto-sources `$topic/*.zsh`
-+ `$topic/bin/*` scripts will be symlinked to `~/.bin`. The included bash/zsh
-  topics add `~/.bin` to `PATH`.
+# 3. Track enabled topics in ~/.dotfiles/.enabled.d.
