.files

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk.

It targets OS X systems, but since it has some defensive checks it should work on *nix as well (tested on a few Linux boxes).

Install

On a sparkling fresh installation of OS X:

Install the dotfiles with either Git or curl:

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/wchrisjohnson/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

Or, using wget:

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

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.

Credits

This repo is a straight copy of: https://github.com/webpro/dotfiles I didn't fork it because I didn't want to have to be concerned with merging updates back into this repo. As I gain confidence with what's here, I might very well switch to a fork of his excellent repo.

Many thanks to the dotfiles community and the creators of the incredibly useful tools.
