After cloning this repo, running setup/setup will perform the entire setup
process. You can perform isolated parts of the setup process by running
individual scripts found in setup as well as the ones found in the setup
directories in specific tags.
This repo uses rcm for management. It's pretty neat, you should check it out.
It also heavily uses the tag feature of rcm. It's really only for organizational purposes, but it also means that you could do neat things like pull down parts of my dotfiles if you'd like:
git clone git@github.com:fabianoleittes/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
rcup -d ~/dotfiles -x README.md -x rcrc -t git
rcm will symlink all files into place, keeping the folder structure relative
to the tag root. However, our rcrc is explicitly ignoring a few things:
Brewfiles are the homebrew dependencies for a specific tag, and so don't need to be symlinked.- Anything named
setup(or in a directory with that name) is assumed to be part of the general setup process, and so will not be symlinked.
These ignore patterns are being controlled by the EXCLUDES key in my
rcrc.
Additionally, I'm using the UNDOTTED key in my rcrc to make sure that
Library files aren't symlinked into .Library. This means I can do things
like add Xcode color schemes, or LaunchAgents into my dotfiles and have them
symlinked into place properly.
