title: .bash_profile and scripts as symbolic links
body: <p>I'd like to know, if there is any problem when I set my <code>.bash_profile</code> or other configs such as <code>.irssi</code> or <code>.slate</code> as symbolic links. The thing is, I would like to git all my configs and scripts in <code>/usr/local/bin</code>(I'm on OS X), so that I have version control and a backup for them. This way, I can also use them on other machines.</p>
  
  <p>I was just wondering whether anything could break, if I'm doing that.</p>
