This is based on Andy Fragen's mac-clean-install repo.
I've written my install script to be fairily deterministic: I want it to only install/create things that don't already exist.
I've also written it to only install the components I actually want on a given computer – not everything I do needs to be on every computer I own (e.g. video production vs web development) – and so the script prompts for input before installing anything.
This script supports remote execution, e.g.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brichards/dotfiles/master/install.sh)"Or it can be run locally after cloning this repo, e.g.
git clone [email protected]:brichards/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
sh ~/.dotfiles/install.shThis script is based on Mathias Bynens macos prefs script and sets application and system preferences to my preferred defaults.
It is called automatically from the install.sh script (if the option to install prefs is selected). Alternatively, it can also be called manually via remote execution, e.g.:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brichards/dotfiles/master/install-macos-prefs.sh)"Or it can be run locally after cloning this repo, e.g.:
git clone [email protected]:brichards/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
sh ~/.dotfiles/install-macos-prefs.shThese are my personal dotfiles. You probably don't want to copy these as-is.
But you probably do want to copy some of the other dotfile bootstraps hosted on GitHub or otherwise use mine for inspiration.
So far, these include my:
- Git Config
- ZSH config, specialized for Oh My ZSH!
- ESLint Global Config
- WP-CLI Config
When configuring a new machine, clone this repo to ~/.dotfiles and then symlink each file to the user directory, e.g.:
git clone [email protected]:brichards/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/eslintrc.json ~/Sites/www/eslintrc.json
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/wp-cli.yml ~/Sites/www/wp-cli.yml
source ~/.zshrc
