Nat Welch's .Files

This repository holds my config files for just about everything. Use this to set up a fresh OSX or Linux box, and Nat will be a happy user.

• link → directly links file or folder to ~/.fname
• specific → Links specific files, instead of their root folder.

Install

Originally I did this entirely with shell scripts. Now I use rake. Make sure to gem install rake and install ruby 1.9.2 before going ahead with rake infect

• For more colors for things like ls on OSX, install grc: brew install grc.
• Don't be a chump, use rvm.

Notes

Apparently other people have made similar things to my infect script.

• technicalpickles/homesick
• holman/dotfiles
• ryanb/dotfiles

In the future, it'd be really cool to set up GitHub with my public key, all through a script. Having to set up permissions before I infect is a pita.

TODO

• Figure out how to have vim deal with rackup files nicely.

Assumptions

This repo assumes you are managing a variety of machines. It makes some trade-offs because it assumes you use multiple machines daily.
