.files

My personal dotfiles for macOS and fish, based on the amazing https://github.com/webpro/dotfiles

Installation

On a sparkling fresh installation of macOS:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

The Xcode Command Line Tools includes git and make (not available on stock macOS). Now there are two options:

1. Install this repo with curl available:

bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/richo225/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

This will clone or download, this repo to ~/.dotfiles depending on the availability of git, curl or wget.

1. Alternatively, clone manually into the desired location:

git clone https://github.com/richo225/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Use the Makefile to install everything listed above, and symlink runcom and config (using stow):

cd ~/.dotfiles
make
