Home (aka: Alex's dotfiles)

These are my dotfiles. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

Usage

• Clone this repo somewhere: git clone https://github.com/alexweber/home.git ~/Projects/home
• To install run ./dotfiles.sh
• To update the dotfiles run git pull && ./dotfiles.sh
• Alternatively, if you're setting up a fresh OS X install, use the scripts/home.sh script, which will set everything up and run all of the other scripts for you

Customization

• In order to keep private info from public repos, use the .bash/private file; it's only copied by the dotfiles.sh script if it doesn't already exist
• It's also a place you can add extra private aliases, functions, etc.
• If you're maintaining a fork, run git update-index --assume-unchanged on this file in order to ignore the it's changes

Additional scripts

The following scripts are available in the "scripts" folder:

• atom.sh Install Atom Editor packages
• brew.sh Install command-line tools using Homebrew
• cask.sh Install native OS X apps using Homebrew Cask
• composer.sh Install global Composer PHP packages
• home.sh Wrapper around the all of the other scripts; use this to set up a new Mac
• node.sh Install global Node.js packages
• osx.sh Sets up sensible defaults for OS X settings and a couple other cool tweaks
• ruby.sh Install global Ruby gems
