Bash script to backup my configs (dotfiles)

I needed some script to take care of my config files and put them in a single directory. So here it is.

#!/bin/bash

# Display All Hidden Dot Files In a Directory
# ls -a | egrep "^\." > backup_dotfiles.sh

DESTINATION="/storage/dotfiles"  # do not use a trailing slash (/)

# Colors
blue="\e[0;34m"
green="\e[1;32m"
red="\e[0;31m"
bold="\e[1;30m"
reset="\e[0m"

# file list (use trailing slash for directories)
FILES="

for file in $FILES
do
   if [ -d $file ]; then
      mkdir -p $DESTINATION/$file
      cp -f $HOME/$file* $DESTINATION/$file
   elif [ -f $file ]; then
      cp -f $HOME/$file $DESTINATION
   else
      echo -e "$red:: $file is not a file/directory! $reset"
   fi     
done

echo -e "$green:: Done! $reset"
exit 0
