DOTFILES

Introduction

These are my personal dotfiles, inspired by some awesome people - use at your own risk.

Installation

1. Fork this repository, review and remove any unwanted parts.
2. Clone to your machine, for example into ~/dotfiles
3. Run ./install.sh

   1. It will prompt you for the basic Git info, unless specified previously

   2. To modify this information, edit ~/.gitconfig.local

   3. You will be prompted to back up any existing dotfiles that will be overwritten. ⚠️ I highly recommend you do this the first time you run the installer to back up the system default dotfiles, otherwise you'll have a hard time reverting back to defaults ⚠️

4. Customise ~/.bash.local (shell/bash.local) for your personal preferences - sample file can be found in shell/bash.local-sample

Re-Install

To re-install simply run ./install.sh again.

To re-install and update the Git editor config, you will need to delete the git/gitconfig.local file and run the installer ./install.sh

Additional Info

For the machines to use Sublime as the Git editor (probably only local machines, not servers), you'll need to symlink subl into /usr/local/bin/ via

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl

Editing

Syntax highlighting for these files
