Warning: If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!
git clone https://github.com/swgraham/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.shTo update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:
source bootstrap.shAlternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:
set -- -f; source bootstrap.shIf ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.
Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.
My ~/.extra looks something like this:
# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Mathias Bynens"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="mathias@mailinator.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though.

Be Wary here -- it is cool, but you have to make sure you agree w/ all of them. Read it carefully! comment out what you don't.
