Initialize the dotfile management environment.

git clone --bare [email protected]:jaywonchung/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME checkout master
source .dotmodules/init.sh

Warning. My machines have SSH authentication set up with Github, so cloning with [email protected]:jaywonchung/dotfiles.git works. Others will have to clone with the URL https://github.com/jaywonchung/dotfiles.git.

A unified set of dotfiles for MacOS and Linux machines is on the unified branch:

dotfiles checkout unified

You may run into errors when checking out a branch due to existing dotfiles in your home directory. Do a quick backup to a separate directory, or just remove them.

Finally, run the installation script.

zsh ~/.dotmodules/install/all.sh

Or just to everything at once. Very secure, obviously.

source <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaywonchung/dotfiles/master/install.sh)

Restarting the shell will finish the installation.

Warning. Don't forget to change .gitconfig to reflect your identity (use the git config command).

In your home directory, you can do things like:

dotfiles status
dotfiles add .new_dotfile
dotfiles commit -m "A new dotfile that's really damn.. new!"
dotfiles push
