Prerequisites:
- Add device's SSH key to Github generate them (generate them like this)
- Install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
git clone [email protected]:helior/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake installThe installer will set up your symbolic links to your home directory. If a duplicate file exists, it will prompt you to backup the file.
brew bundle- This project assumes you place the repository in ~/.dotfiles.
- This project assumes your default shell is ZSH.
- *.symlink files are automatically symbolically linked to your home directory. See Rakefile.
- *.zsh files are automatically sourced. See zsh/zshrc.symlink.
- ~/.localrc is sourced automatically. Use this file for sensitive information that you DON'T want in the repository. See zsh/zshrc.symlink.
- There is a
Brewfilein which you'll need to brew usingbrew bundle. Many Cask entries are commented out because installing this way was awkward, but I just want to remind myself which apps I usually install. - Run
curl -Lo- https://bit.ly/janus-bootstrap | bashto brew Janus (Vim upgrades)
- trash
- tldr
- gulp-cli
- grunt-cli
- Similar to aliases and .zsh files, each topic can specify which external dependencies they want to pull in. At install, these requirements will be gathered to generate a Brewfile, Gemfile, package.json, et al. and brew system-wide executables.
- define a library of helper functions for the shell (node)
- helper operations to check that dependencies are installed
- define aliases
- symbolically link actual dotfiles (configuration files)
- define package/app dependencies
- customize prompts
- set OS-level settings
- push/pop to $PATH variable
- define topical ENV variables
- manage completion scripts
