Clone onto your laptop:
git clone git://github.com/azevedo/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
If not already, install rcm:
brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
brew install rcm
Install the dotfiles:
env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup
After the initial installation, you can run rcup
without the one-time variable
RCRC
being set (rcup
will symlink the repo's rcrc
to ~/.rcrc
for future
runs of rcup
).
This command will create symlinks for config files in your home directory.
Setting the RCRC
environment variable tells rcup
to use standard
configuration options:
- Exclude the
README.md
andLICENSE
files, which are part of thedotfiles
repository but do not need to be symlinked in. - Give precedence to personal overrides which by default are placed in
~/dotfiles-local
- Please configure the
rcrc
file if you'd like to make personal overrides in a different directory
