My personal quirks quantified in text form

Dotfiles

This is only public so I can easily share it across machines. There is probably nothing of interest for you here ... or is there?

Letting me own your machine

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/fortes/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh)

If for some reason, you don't have curl installed (why?):

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/fortes/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh)

You may need to add --no-check-certificate for the wget call, but that's kinda dangerous.

Setup

Once you've run setup, you'll still have to do the following manual steps:

1. Generate this machine's SSH keys:

   ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$(hostname)"

Then add the key into GitHub and wherever else

2. Add any additional ssh keys into ~/.ssh

3. Authorize your public keys on the new machine:

   ssh-import-id gh:fortes

4. Add your favorite servers into .ssh/config.local

5. Setup .gitconfig.local:

   [user]
     name = Your Name
     email = [email protected]
   

Ignoring changes to a file

git update-index --skip-worktree ./symlinks/npmrc

To make changes in the future:

git update-index --no-skip-worktree ./symlinks/npmrc

Additional Settings
