dotfiles

Installation

On a sparkling fresh installation of macOS:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

The Xcode Command Line Tools includes git and make (not available on stock macOS). Now there are two options:

Install this repo with curl available:

bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danepowell/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

This will clone or download this repo to ~/.dotfiles (depending on the availability of git, curl or wget).

Alternatively, clone manually into the desired location:

git clone https://github.com/danepowell/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Use the Makefile to install the packages listed above, and symlink runcom and config files (using stow):

cd ~/.dotfiles
make

Running make with the Makefile is idempotent. The installation process in the Makefile is tested on every push and every week in this GitHub Action. Please file an issue in this repo if there are errors.

Post-Installation

Set macOS Dock items and system defaults:

dot dock
dot macos
