Using dotbot, the makefile handles setting up dotbot and running it to install dots:
make
make install
Since some programs use dconf for configuration, their config files are just a dconf dump. They can be updated with the dconf-dump make target:
make dconf-dump
Note: make install will read and dconf load those files so current config may get overwritten if running make install before make dconf-dump.
