My dotfiles

This directory contains my personal dotfiles.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following installed on your system

Git

brew install git
<!-- or -->
sudo apt-get install git

GNU Stow

GNU Stow handles the symlinking of my dotfiles.

brew install stow
<!-- or -->
sudo apt-get install stow

Installation

First, checkout the dotfiles repo in your $HOME directory using git

git clone https://github.com/skmpf/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd .dotfiles

Update name and email in .gitconfig. You can also change the default editor if you don't like vim (use code --wait for VSCode).

Optional: update the directories you want to override in .gitconfig and update name and email in .gitconfig_pro.

Finally use GNU Stow to create symlinks
