dotfiles - Setting up a new Mac

Install brew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Clone dotfiles

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

Run bundle

cd .dotfiles
brew bundle # installs everything listed in Brewfile

Run RCM

Makes symlinks of all the files in this project.

rcup rcrc # excludes certain files from rcup
rcup -f

Make GNU bash default shell

echo "/usr/local/bin/bash" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

Add a ~/.extra to contain non-github stuff

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Eero Saikku"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="???"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

Dotfiles for sensible OS X life. Heavily influenced by https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.

Troubleshooting

These files might brake your terminal after bigger updates. In that case follow these steps:

• Delete all the symlinks created from this folder to get your terminal reset to default
• Update CLT (Command Line Tools)

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install

• Run RCM part again
