Abdelrhman's Dotfiles

Thanks

This repo is a collection of the excellent work of those people:

• Rosco Kalis dotfiles
• Mathias Bynens dotfiles
• Zach Holman dotfiles
• Anish Athalye dotfiles

Usage

Warning: If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install git

1. Clone this repository

2. Run the bootstrap.sh script

   1. Alternatively, only run the setup.sh scripts in specific subfolders if you don't need everything

3. (Optional) Point the Alfred preference sync to a backed up folder

4. Login to applications, enter license keys, set preferences

Customization

If you would like to use these dotfiles for yourself, I'd recommend changing at least the following:

Git

• The .gitconfig file includes my [user] config, replace these with your own user name and email

OSX

• At the top of the setup.sh file, my computer name is set, replace this with your own computer name
