macdaddy's dotfiles

This is a fork of Roderik's fork of Mathias’s dotfiles customised for my use.

Installation

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles, with ~/dotfiles as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/roderik/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

./bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

./bootstrap.sh -f

BASH 4

Some features depend on bash version 4. Install by running .brew

./.brew

Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./.osx
