2. Install vcsh (via homebrew as below)
3. Run these commands

vcsh init dotfiles
vcsh dotfiles add ~/.js*

vcsh dotfiles remote add origin https://github.com/StevenACoffman/dotfiles.git
vcsh dotfiles commit -m 'Initial config files'
vcsh dotfiles pull origin master
vcsh dotfiles push -u origin master

How to update it

How to restore it

0. Get your ssh keys where they need to be, and install homebrew.

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install.

Install Software

The software selected is software that is "tried and true" --- software I need after any fresh install. I often install other software not listed here, but is handled in a case-by-case basis.

XCode

Start with installing xcode command line tools and agreeing to the license

xcode-select --install
sudo xcodebuild -license

OS Tweaks

OSX has a ridiculously low limit on the maximum number of open files. If you use OSX to develop Node applications -- or even if you just use Node tools like grunt or gulp -- you've no doubt run into this issue.

echo kern.maxfiles=65536 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo kern.maxfilesperproc=65536 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=65536
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc=65536
ulimit -n 65536 65536
