# .dotfiles
My personal dotfiles for macOS.
## What are dotfiles?
Dotfiles are configuration files like `.zshrc` or `.gitconfig` that configure programs on your computer. This repository is a collection of dotfiles that I am using to make re-installing macOS take way less time congiguring and remembering my settings for programs.
## On a new computer
1. Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) (package manager)
```sh
# https://brew.sh/
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
2. Install [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/)
```sh
# https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/github
brew install --cask github
```
3. Clone this repository
4. Create a symbolic link for the desired `Brewfile`.
```sh
ln -s /Users//Documents/GitHub/.dotfiles/Brewfile Brewfile
```
5. Sync upstream Brewfile with local software
```sh
brew bundle --force cleanup
```
6. Install software
```sh
brew bundle
```
