neilsmind/dotfiles

Getting Started

Clone this (or a forked version of this) repository.

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/neilsmind/dotfiles.git .dotfiles

(Option 1) If you'd like to symlink everything from this repository to your home directory, run install.rb. This will also sync and update all the git submodules within.

$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ ./install.rb

This install script is idempotent, meaning you can run it over and over again without fear of breaking anything. Use it as an installer or to upgrade after merging from an upstream fork.

(Option 2) If you'd like to just symlink one or more configurations to your home directory manually, you can.

$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ ln -ns atom   ~/.atom
$ ln -ns iterm2   ~/.iterm2

(Option 3) Just look around and pick and choose what you like for your own dotfiles.

Notes

If you'd like to use git and github, be sure to add your own ~/.gitconfig_local file:

[user]
  email = [email protected]
  name = Your Name
[github]
  user = your-github-username

Requirements

• *nix environment (e.g. Mac OS X or Linux)
• Zsh version >= 3 (for command line enhancements)
• Atom version >= 1.7 (for atom config and setup)
• Ruby (for the install.rb to work)
