dotfiles

The ‘replicable’ heart of my computer(s)

Init (Note for my future self)

Simply run the below on the new computer to be “adopted”:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/myTerminal/dotfiles/master/.setup/bootstrap)"

OR

/bin/bash -c "$(curl https://gh.myterminal.me/setup)"

Setup

dotfiles contains software setup for multiple operating platforms and starts if it finds a compatible one.

To start setup, run the following command in a terminal running bash:

. .setup/start

On start, twiner is fetched as a dependency which provides most of the underlying features.

If you’re running a shell different than bash, run something like:

bash .setup/start

The setup scripts should take of the rest except for a couple of prompts for optional setup.
