HomeSync

This repo contains two scripts:

  1. install_dotfiles.sh - A simple bash script to symlink to a version controlled home directory

  2. setup_mac.sh - A mac specific setup script that installs my typical dev environment (via brew)

Installation

If you want to setup a new dev environment on a mac, run this:

git clone https://github.com/stevenocchipinti/homesync.git ~/.homesync
~/.homesync/install_dotfiles.sh
~/.homesync/setup_mac.sh

If you only want the dotfiles, just skip the setup_mac.sh script

Why use install_dotfiles.sh?

  • It requires no dependancies, just a data directory
    You won't need Ruby, Rsync, etc. You could even use this without Git!
  • It will create folders and only link the files inside
    Useful if you want to version control some scripts inside ~/bin, but not everything!
  • You can version control the data directory however you like
    If you don't like git, you could use Mercurial, SVN or whatever else you want!
