Dotfiles for macOS

Primary LanguageShell

.files

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

It targets macOS systems, but it should work on *nix as well (tested on a few Linux boxes and Ubuntu 16).

Package overview

Install

On a sparkling fresh installation of macOS:

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

Install the dotfiles with either Git or curl:

Clone with Git

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

Remotely install using curl

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

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

Or, using wget:

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

The dotfiles command

$ dotfiles help
Usage: dotfiles <command>

Commands:
   clean            Clean up caches (brew, npm, gem, rvm)
   dock             Apply macOS Dock settings
   edit             Open dotfiles in IDE (code) and Git GUI (stree)

Customize/extend

You can put your custom settings, such as Git credentials in the system/.custom file which will be sourced from .bash_profile automatically. This file is in .gitignore.

Alternatively, you can have an additional, personal dotfiles repo at ~/.extra.

  • The runcom .bash_profile sources all ~/.extra/runcom/*.sh files.
  • The installer (install.sh) will run ~/.extra/install.sh.
