Dotfiles guide #85

Your blog post is the definitive guide for managing Atom dotfiles, and I found it very helpful (my dotfiles went from 950M -> 79M by avoiding packages alone).

I noticed the post seemed ambiguous about whether to include the .atom/.apm directory in your dotfiles. It's not as big as the .atom/packages directory, but I noticed you don't have it in your dotfiles repo. That caused me to go look into how to recreate my atom package installations on another machine, and I found apm.

Given that you can list and install all your packages using apm, it might be worth mentioning that you can safely ignore .apm directory in your article, and suggesting "apm list" and "apm install".
