Chris’s dotfiles
Installation
Using Git and the bootstrap script
You can clone the repository wherever you want. The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and link the files to your home folder.
git clone https://github.com/cmbuckley/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./bootstrap.sh
To update, cd
into your local dotfiles
repository and then:
./bootstrap.sh
Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:
./bootstrap.sh -f
$PATH
Specify the If ~/.path
exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing takes place.
