# Ricco's dotfiles

These are my configuration files for various system settings.
Feel free to use them if you can.

## ⚒ Installation

Clone the repository with `git clone [email protected]:fiskeben/dotfiles.git`.

Run `install.sh` which will copy all necessary files to your home directory.

⏰ **Warning:** *This will likely overwrite essential files in your home directory!
Make sure to backup important files before you continue.*

The installation script takes up to two arguments:

* `-f` Force installation (don't ask to continue). Makes things go faster.
* `-s` Don't download the latest changes from GitHub. Makes things go even faster.

### 🙈 Local changes

If you need to set values or add functionality that doesn't belong in the base installation
(say, work related environment variables), you can put them in a file called `.extra` in your home directory.

The file will be read after the others so you can also use it to override things added by these scripts.

### 🍺 Homebrew packages

Run `brew.sh` to install essential apps and tools.
This requires Homebrew to be installed already. See [the Homebrew
webpage](http://brew.sh) for more information on how to install it.

### ⚛ Atom packages

Run `atom.sh` to install some nice to have packages for the Atom editor. This
requires Atom to be installed (for instance by running the Homebrew script first).

The layout, scripting, aliases, functions, and more is based on [Lars Kappert's

and the examples linked to in that article, especially [Mathias Bynens'
