.files

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk.

It targets OS X systems, but since it has some defensive checks it should work on *nix as well (tested on a few Linux boxes).

Install

On a sparkling fresh installation of OS X:

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

Install the dotfiles with either Git or curl:

Clone with Git

git clone https://github.com/webpro/dotfiles.git
source dotfiles/install.sh

Remotely install using curl

Alternatively, you can install this into ~/.dotfiles remotely without Git using curl:

sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/webpro/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

Or, using wget:

sh -c "`wget -O - --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webpro/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"
