Clone the repository to your home directory under ~/.dotfiles
and run make
to symlink the files to your home directory. Configuration files are separated out into their respective directories to keep everything organized and locate configurations easily.
$ git clone https://github.com/hepplerj/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ rake
Hat tip to Mathias Bynen's excellent OS X defaults. You can set these by running:
$ cd system
$ chmod +x osx
$ ./osx
When setting up a new Mac, I install some common Homebrew formulae once Homebrew is installed:
$ cd system
$ chmod +x brew
$ ./brew
Suggestions/improvements are welcome!
