Adding a new user

Welcome to Balanced! To get your SSH user created just update recipes/default.rb with a new balanced_user resource for yourself. If your Balanced and Github usernames are the same, you can just do:

balanced_user 'asmithee' do
  sudo true
  github_username 'asmithee'
end

Custom dotfiles

To add per-user dotfiles copy the file to templates/default/<username>/<filename> and add dotfiles %w{filename} to your balanced_user resource in recipes/default.rb.
