# dotfiles and mac config
My public dotfiles and mac configuration.
Does not include more sensitive files (eg `.ssh`).
## Usage
- I would recommend using symlinks to 'place' these dotfiles in your home directory `~`.
- Use the included `create-symlinks.sh` script.
- Or `ln -sv /path/to/a/dotfile ~` will create a symlink to your home directory, where most programs expect dotfiles to be.
## Mac Config
Brewfile and scripts to bootstrap a fresh Mac install.
- Installs xcode command line tools.
- Installs Homebrew and tools/apps listed in the [Brewfile](mac-config/Brewfile).
- Configure [Dotfiles](https://github.com/dcchambers/dotfiles).
### Bootstrap
You can bootstrap a new mac using the included `bootstrap.sh` script. You should be able to run this script from a brand new mac using only included, default tools.
The script sets up a ssh key, configures git, downloads dotfiles, installs homebrew, and installs my commonly used packages/tools/apps via homebrew.
- Download the bootstrap script from this git repo:
```
$ curl -o /tmp/bootstrap.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcchambers/dotfiles/master/mac-config/bootstrap.sh
```
- Run the script
```
$ chmod +x /tmp/bootstrap.sh
$ /tmp/bootstrap.sh
```
### Brewfile
- If you just want to install the applications listed in the `Brewfile`, run
this command from the directory that contains your `Brewfile`. (Requires [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/))
```
$ brew bundle install
```
## Specifications
- These dotfiles are *mac-focused* and built to share some config between several machines.
I recently separated my dotfiles for my work computer into a separate private repostitory because sharing configuration was getting messy.
