To install: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project\ Templates git clone git@github.com:leebyron/of-xcode-templates.git openFrameworks Be sure to right-click and "Get Info" on the the blue project icon in XCode and change the "OF" variable to the location of your openFrameworks directory.
