Chris's dotfiles

Shamelessly jacked from @paulirish

install the necessary apps

My basic setup is captured in install-deps.sh which adds homebrew, z, nave, etc.

private config

Toss it into a file called .extra which you do not commit to this repo and just keep in your ~/

This is where i keep my git username config

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Chris Lyons"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="chrislyons88@gmail.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

Syntax highlighting

…is really important. even for these files.

Install Dotfiles Syntax Highlighting via Sublime Text 2 Package Control

Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./.osx

Similar projects

I recommend getting a .jshintrc and .editorconfig defined for all your projects.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/chrislyons88/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./sync.sh
./.osx
sudo source install-deps.sh
./.brew
sudo touch .extra && v .extra
# add in git creds in .extra

To update later on, just run the sync again.

I personally have aliases set up for updating my dotfiles

ea

# commits and pushes to github, then runs sync.sh
