matt's dotfiles

Config files for ZSH, Java, Ruby, Go, Editors, Terminals and more.

Installation

Dependencies

First, make sure you have all those things installed:

git: to clone the repo
curl: to download some stuff
tar: to extract downloaded stuff
zsh: to actually run the dotfiles
sudo: some configs may need that
brew: macOS (and technically Linux) package manager

Install

Then, run these steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/mattmahn/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ ./script/bootstrap
$ zsh # or just close and open your terminal again.

All changed files will be backed up with a .backup suffix.

Recommended Software

For OSX, I recommend:

grc: for colorizing stuff (like ls);
iTerm: a better terminal emulator;

Both:

diff-so-fancy: better git difs (you'll need to run dot_update to apply it);

Thanks

I forked caarlos0's Holman's excellent dotfiles and tweaked it to fit my taste. I have also copied one thing or another from other people, so, thanks everyone!
