# My personal dotfiles
*Managed with [rcm][]*
## New macOS machine setup
1. Install XCode from the App Store
1. [Generate SSH keys and add them to GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/)
1. Clone this repo
git clone [email protected]:flybayer/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
1. Create `.laptop.local` link
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/host-osx/laptop.local ~/.laptop.local
1. Download & run [thoughtbot's laptop script][] to install and configure all your apps
1. Set up dotfiles *(using [rcm][])*
1. Link the rcm config only
rcup -v rcrc
1. Do a dry run to see which files will be symlinked
lsrc -B osx
1. Link the dotfiles
rcup -vB osx
### Set up key remapping
1. In OSX System Preferences, change Caps Lock to Control
1. Karabiner should be configured with mackup below
### Restore application settings
If you've already installed the dotfiles with the `rcup` command listed above,
you'll have `~/.mackup.cfg` installed. Modify this configuration file to include
the applications for which you wish to install preference files [see
[supported applications][] or run `mackup list`]. Install all OS X applications
on your list, including your storage engine app (Dropbox by default). There
are more options for the mackup configuration file you might want to tinker
with. Here are [the mackup config docs][].
Once you're satisfied your applications are installed, sync their preferences
with mackup:
```
mackup restore
```
## New Linux machine setup
1. [Generate SSH keys and add them to GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/)
1. Clone this repo
git clone [email protected]:flybayer/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
or
git clone https://github.com/flybayer/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
1. `Run setup-linux.sh`:
.dotfiles/host-mts-linux/setup-linux.sh
## Adding new files to the project
```
mkrc ~/.filename
```
**Examples:**
```
mkrc ~/.vimrc
mkrc ~/.atom/config.cson # Nested files also work
mkrc ~/.vim # And entire directories work too
```
The specified file will be moved to the `~/.dotfiles` directory with the
dot prefix removed. The original file will be deleted,
then symlinked from `~/.dotfiles` back to its original location.
It will now stay in sync and be easily managed with source control.
