dotfiles

Dotfiles help you personalize your system. Mine, made for macOS and MIT-licensed, include the following.

The bare minimum required to install these dotfiles is Bash and Git. Bash is already bundled with almost all operating systems. Read more about how to install Git.

If you have an existing ~/dotfiles directory, back it up.

mv ~/dotfiles ~/.config.backup

Then, clone this repository using Git.

git clone https://github.com/derhuerst/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

Now, you can symlink the configuration files you need.

ln -s ~/dotfiles/editorconfig/editorconfig ~/.editorconfig
ln -s ~/dotfiles/git/gitignore ~/.gitignore
ln -s ~/dotfiles/git/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -s ~/dotfiles/homebrew/brew-aliases ~/.brew-aliases
ln -s ~/dotfiles/npm/npmrc ~/.npmrc

Additionaly, you can create a .hushlogin file by typing touch ~/.hushlogin.

You can install the optional stuff these dotfiles support. Run brew update first.
