# Overbryd's dotfiles

## Bootstrap

On a new mac, open a Terminal and run:

    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Overbryd/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh

    chmod +x bootstrap.sh

    ./bootstrap.sh

## Maintenance

Enter the `~/dotfiles` directory, make changes and `make` it:

    cd ~/dotfiles

    make

The Makefile contains sections for installing \*nix command line utilities, macOS applications, macOS settings and maintaing specific configurations.

So you can also only re-make a section of the project, for example the macOS dock settings:

    cd ~/dotfiles

    make defaults-Dock

Or only rebuild your vim:

    cd ~/dotfiles

    make vim

Or upgrade all installed packages:

    cd ~/dotfiles

    make brew
