Dotfiles (macOS)
Personal dotfiles - philosophy
Warning: these dotfiles are currently a work in progress (not yet complete).
Feel free to take Inspiration from them, but best not to use them as is.
This is a repo of my personal dotfiles for macOS. The main philosophy is to
use
Installation
Clone the repo and update and sync submodules
In order to install these dotfiles, run the following commands:
git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules git@github.com:shamindras/dotfiles.git
Run installation using dotbot
Now the installation script can be executed using
dotbot as follows:
make dotbot_install
NOTE: The above make dotbot_install command is just a wrapper for
./install, if you prefer to run this command directly from your terminal.
Inspiration
These dotfiles have been mainly inspired by the following people. I thank them
for openly sharing their work.
