dotfiles-local

My personal dotfiles. Extends thoughtbot/dotfiles.

Installation

If rcm is not already installed:

brew install rcm

Install dotfiles:

chsh -s $(which zsh) # If zsh is not set as the default shell
git clone [email protected]:thoughtbot/dotfiles.git "$HOME/dotfiles"
git clone [email protected]:jaredaidenwolf/dotfiles-local.git "$HOME/dotfiles-local"
env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

Update dotfiles

You should occasionally update thoughtbot/dotfiles:

cd $HOME/dotfiles
git pull
rcup

Use in conjunction with thoughtbot/laptop

Your laptop customizations should go in dotfiles-local/laptop.local.

After completing the above dotfiles installation (including laptop.local), you can install thoughtbot/laptop by running:

Important

Always read scripts before running them! It's like reading the terms and conditions...except you really should do it.

curl -o ~/mac https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thoughtbot/laptop/main/mac
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log

Once complete, you can delete the mac script:

rm ~/mac

Testing

Testing these scripts is made infinitely easier by using UTM for MacOS to run a macOS virtual machine.
