dotfiles

Introduction

This is my personal dotfiles repository based on thoughtbot/dotfiles. Anyone can use this under the MIT License even though all settings are highly optimized just for me.

Requirements

Set zsh as your login shell:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Also bash can be used:

chsh -s $(which bash)

Install

1. Install rcm.

2. Execute curl https://manicmaniac.github.io/dotfiles/installer | sh.

The rest of this section is detailed information.

Install rcm:

brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
brew install rcm

Install the dotfiles:

env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

This command will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. Setting the RCRC environment variable tells rcup to use standard configuration options:

• Exclude the README.md and LICENSE files, which are part of the dotfiles repository but do not need to be symlinked in.
• Give precedence to personal overrides which by default are placed in ~/dotfiles-local

You can safely run rcup multiple times to update:

rcup

Testing

You can safely try this out in a docker container.

docker run -ti --rm $(docker build . | awk 'END {print $3}')

Thanks

Thank you, contributors! Also, thank you to Corey Haines, Gary Bernhardt, and others for sharing your dotfiles and other shell scripts from which we derived inspiration for items in this project.
