# rtfpessoa’s dotfiles
> Sourced from [mathiasbynens/dotfiles](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles)
## Installation
**Warning:** If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!
### Using Git and the bootstrap script
You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in `~/Projects/dotfiles`, with `~/dotfiles` as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version, copy the dotfiles to your home folder and install the brew and asdf tools.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/rtfpessoa/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && bash bootstrap.sh
```
To update, `cd` into your local `dotfiles` repository and then:
```bash
bash bootstrap.sh
```
Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:
```bash
bash bootstrap.sh -f
```
To update later on, just run that command again.
### Add custom commands without creating a new fork
If `~/.extra` exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.
My `~/.extra` looks something like this:
```bash
# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Mathias Bynens"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
```
You could also use `~/.extra` to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to [fork this repository](https://github.com/rtfpessoa/dotfiles/fork) instead, though.
