coreen/dotfiles

Coreen's dotfiles

DISCLAIMER: This repo is a compilation of my dotfiles and general setup. If you want to give these a try, fork the repo and review the code BEFORE applying the settings. Remove things you don't understand and use at your own risk.

Usage

Copy the dotfiles to your $HOME directory

cp .* ~

Change setup scripts to be executable and run the initial-setup.sh file

chmod +x *.sh
./initial-setup.sh

Initial setup defaults to bash shell, if you would like to use zsh additionally run

./zsh-setup.sh
