Dotfiles

Jem's way to save a ton of time with dotfiles 🚀

Installation

These steps will create a copy of all the dotfiles in this repo and place them in the $HOME directory. It will also set a bare git repository to manage the files with dotfiles as the git controller keyword.

• Install basic command tools

xcode-select --install

• Install Homebrew ✨

• Add dotfiles alias:

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

• Clone dotfiles in a bare repository:

git clone --bare [email protected]:jeremy2918/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

• Checkout:

dotfiles checkout

• If the previous step failed...

mkdir -p .dotfiles-backup && \
dotfiles checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .dotfiles-backup/{}

dotfiles checkout

• Hide untracked files:

dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Install Apps with Homebrew

Run the brew.sh file to get brew to install all the apps I use.

cd ~/.dotfiles && ./brew.sh

Add ranger devicons:

git clone https://github.com/alexanderjeurissen/ranger_devicons ~/.config/ranger/plugins/ranger_devicons
