Alex’s dotfiles

Installation

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/alexferreira/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
sh bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

sh bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

sh bootstrap.sh -f

Git-free install

To install these dotfiles without Git:

cd; curl -#L https://github.com/alexferreira/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh}

To update later on, just run that command again.
