dotfiles

Bootrap my osx system. Keep my dotfiles inside verstion control to allow rapid rebuild of the system. Also supports ubuntu in a limited capacity so far.

Usage

This is a personal repo and my personal preferences. If you want to use it you're advised to fork and modify it with your own preferences.

Installation

Clone this to your home folder - this can be done by doing

git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/ivank/dotfiles.git
git fetch origin
git checkout -b master --track origin/master

Or better yet, fork it in github, and use that as your origin url (so you can do modifications yourself)

After you're done you initiate the install by calling

./mac.sh

Or for ubuntu

./ubuntu.sh

This script is designed to be rerun multiple times.

You'll need to add a .gitconfig_user file to setup your git user (and not modify the .gitconfig file) Example content:

[user]
    name = MY NAME
    email = MY EMAIL

Docs

You can read the config files themesleves that I've tried to explain the changes

Credits

This is inspired by mathiasbynens/dotfiles but greatly simplified and streamlined. I am much more happy with the defaults of OSX that's why I don't do much modification there, rathar I strive for simplisity and using the least amount of configurations to achieve an acceptable result.
