/dotfiles

Various dotfiles I use on my machines.

Primary LanguageLua

Ben's Dotfiles

In this repository you'll find my dotfiles. I don't expect anyone to actually use these directly (they are here more for reference than anything), but if you do, here's how you set it up. Keep in mind that I am not liable for any damage you do to your computer or files if you use these files.

Prerequisites

  • Some version of ruby
  • rake and the colored gems installed locally
  • zsh

Installing dependencies

Run ./install_dependencies to install any brew packages that are used by these files.

Currently these are:

Symlinking these files

Clone the directory somewhere (I chose ~/dotfiles)

git clone https://github.com/subdigital/dotfiles.git

Then we need to symlink these into your home directory. Run:

rake symlink

This will symlink all of the dotfiles from the repo into your home folder. It will prompt before overwriting files, so you can skip existing ones if you want.

I highly recommend you back up any existing dotfiles before trying this out. Use at your own risk.

Vim notes

  • /usr/local/bin/vim will be symlinked to nvim.
