My Dotfiles for macOS

These are the dotfiles I use.

Forked from here

Prerequisites

The dotfiles assume you are running macOS with the following software preinstalled:

• [Oh-My-Zsh][oh-my-zsh]
• [Vim][vim]
• [Git][git]

Installation

git clone https://github.com/sjdweb/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
sh ~/dotfiles/install.sh

Post-install Tasks

After running install.sh there are still a couple of things that need to be done.

• Set up iTerm2 profile (see details below).
• Add personal data to ~/.gitconfig.local and ~/.zshrc.local.

cp ~/dotfiles/gitconfig.local.example ~/.gitconfig.local
vi ~/.gitconfig.local

Setting up iTerm2

Thanks to a [great blog post][blog-post] by Trevor Brown, I learned that you can quickly set up iTerm2 by exporting your profile. Here are the steps.

1. Open iTerm2.
2. Select iTerm2 > Preferences.
3. Under the General tab, check the box labeled "Load preferences from a custom folder or URL:"
4. Press "Browse" and point it to ~/dotfiles/iterm2/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist.
5. Restart iTerm2.
