Dotfiles

Disclaimer

This is designed to bootstrap a clean install of macOS Sierra quickly. It will overwrite all the things in your homedir with symlinks!

Submodules

Note: This configuration uses git submodules for plugins, please ensure that you update your submodules once you clone the repo!

Installation

IMPORTANT: cp Brewfile ../.Brewfile if you want to customize the packages that are installed.

# Clone Repo to .dotfiles
git clone https://github.com/rvalente/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

# Install Dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles && ./install.sh

After Installation

Ensure you create a ~/.gitconfig.local file with your username/email. You do not want to have this located within the .dotfiles repo!

[user]
	name = GIT_NAME
	email = GIT_EMAIL

[github]
	user = GITHUB_USERNAME
	token = GITHUB_TOKEN

Update Plugins

IMPORTANT: If this is the first time cloning the dotfiles down...

git submodule init
git submodule update --remote --merge

Customization

If you want to tweak/customize you can create a ~/.DOTFILE.local file, this will get loaded at the end of the main file.

For example, if you want to add some aliases to your setup, create a ~/.bash_aliases.local file with all the aliases that you want.

Thanks to Smyck for making a color scheme that doesn't suck.
