dotfiles

essential setup of dotfiles for new Unix-like (preferably macOS) environment

Quickstart

make

Requirements

I'd recommend to have following utilities installed, since the full setup requires them to be available.

Required

• make (the initial linking is defined as a make target, for most Unix-like systems make should be available anyway)
• find(1) (required by make target to link files, should be available on most UNIX systems anyway)
• ln(1) (required by make target to link files, should be available on most UNIX systems anyway)

Optional

• Homebrew (a global .Brewfile will be linked aswell which installs some necessities)

Targets

• all (default): link deps

• link Links all files to ~, marks the initial setup.

• deps Will install global brew formulas.

Notes

Recommendations

• rvm - Ruby version manager, similar to nvm (which is contained within .Brefile)
• Using tcsh, which is already installed on macOS
