My dotfiles ❤ ~/

Installation

git clone https://github.com/andreruffert/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source scripts/install.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

source scripts/install.sh

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Add custom commands

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra looks something like this:

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="André Ruffert"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="your@mail.com"

git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global core.editor "atom --wait"

Sensible macOS defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible macOS defaults:
