My Frontend Setup for MacOS

This repo is inspired by Dries Vints' awesome blog post and dotfiles repo.

Beginner's guide

If you're a beginner to setup, I wrote a blog post with an intro to the shell, the basic utilities and config files involved in the frontend setup process. I've also commented on the purpose of each of the scripts in the files.

Setup

Clone this repo into your home directory.

git clone https://github.com/alizehkhan/dotfiles.git

Run the scripts in install.sh

⚠️ Please don't run other people's scripts blindly. Stay safe.

Grab a cuppa ☕️ and wait for the scripts to finish running ✅.
