Chris’s dotfiles

Installation

You can clone the repository wherever you want. The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and link the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/cmbuckley/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

./bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

./bootstrap.sh -f

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing takes place.

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./.osx

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):

./.brew
