Install

Fork this repo on Github.

Clone your fork (replace your-github-name with your Github name).

git clone [email protected]:your-github-name/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

Examine the settings file, named settings:

# Settings
# This file tells install.sh what to ignore, link, copy, and create
# List files (and globs) separated by spaces
# The below options are in order of priority, so ignore overrides
# link_children, which overrides copy, which overrides link
# That is why it's OK to just specify '*' for link

# ignore these files (modifies include)
ignore='settings scripts Icon* *.md *.sh *.txt'

# create directory itself (not contents), then link the children of the directory
# NOTE: it will not delete the directory. If you want to replace the directory,
#				delete it first, then run install.sh
link_children='config'

# just copy these files
copy=''

# list of files to link
link='*'

Run the installer.

./install.sh

It creates symlinks for all dotfiles in your home directory. You can safely run this file multiple times to update. you may need to use the --force option to get the results you want.

Included are fish dotfiles. To install and switch your shell to fish on OS X:

# Install GNU coreutils, fish, grc, and vimpager
brew coreutils install fish grc vimpager
echo "/usr/local/bin/fish" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish

And then run fish

fish -l

Command reference for install.sh:

	install.sh version 0.5

	Run from a dotfile directory, links all files and directories into the current
	user's home directory

	./install.sh [-f] [-h] [-t] [-c config-file] [source dir] [destination dir]

	  -f (--force)    : Overwrite any files / directories in the destination dir
	                    (default is false)
	  -h (--help)     : This help message
	  -t (--test)     : Don't actually do anything, just show what would be done
	                    (default is false)
	  -c (--config)   : Specify configuration file. Example file contents:
	                    # Settings
	                    # (you can use globs)
	                    # list of files to link
	                    link='*'
	                    # ignore these files (modifies include)
	                    ignore='Icon* *.md *.sh *.txt scripts'
	                    # just copy these files
	                    copy=''
	                    # create directory itself (not contents), then link the
	                    # children of the directory
	                    link_children='config'
	                    (defaults are in `install.sh`)

	  source dir      : Contains dotfiles. They are expected to NOT have leading
	                    '.' For example, if the dotfile is '.bashrc' then in the
	                    source dir it is 'bashrc'
	                    (default is current directory)
	  destination dir : Where to put symlinks
	                    (default is '~')
