dotfiles

@irmiller22 does dotfiles.

Install

On a sparkling fresh installation of OS X:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

Install the dotfiles with either Git or curl:

Clone with Git

git clone https://github.com/irmiller22/dotfiles.git
source dotfiles/install.sh

Remotely install using curl

Alternatively, you can install this into ~/.dotfiles remotely without Git using curl:

sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/irmiller22/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

Or, using wget:

sh -c "`wget -O - --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/irmiller22/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

The dotfiles command

$ dotfiles help
Usage: dotfiles <command>

   help             This help message
   edit             Open dotfiles in editor ($EDITOR_ALT) and Git GUI ($GIT_GUI)

Customize/extend

You can put your custom settings, such as Git credentials in the system/.custom file which will be sourced from .bash_profile automatically. This file is in .gitignore.

Alternatively, you can have an additional, personal dotfiles repo at ~/.extra.

• The runcom .bash_profile sources all ~/.extra/runcom/*.sh files.
• The installer (install.sh) will run ~/.extra/install.sh.
