Dotfiles are all those files beginning with a "." in your user directory and make your system work and look the way you want it.

~/.dotfiles

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/.dotfiles).

The installation step requires the XCode Command Line Tools, although you should be prompted to install these if you don't have them installed already.

The bootstrap script attempts to backup existing dotfiles in your HOME directory, but to be safe you should probably make your own copy...

git clone https://github.com/matt3188/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.
