Ollie's dotfiles

Installation

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want (I like to keep it in ~/.dotfiles). The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

cd ~
git clone [email protected]:olliegilbey/dotfiles.git .dotfiles
cd .dotfiles
source bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

source bootstrap.sh

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra looks something like this:

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Ollie Gilbey"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="<INSERT_EMAIL>"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though.

Install Homebrew formulae

Install Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):
