To install:

$ make

This will create symlinks from this repo to your home folder.

To customize:

The configuration here uses the ~/.gitlocal file to store the name and email of the git user. This simplifies the process of keeping system-level configuration changes in ~/.gitconfig. If you would rather have this configuration in the global git config, Be sure to uncomment the relevant line in the Makefile to ensure that credentials are not commited inadvertently.

Save env vars, etc in a .extra file, that looks something like this:

###
### Git credentials
###

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Your Name"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --file ~/.gitlocal user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="email@you.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --file ~/.gitlocal user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
GH_USER="nickname"
git config --file ~/.gitlocal github.user "$GH_USER"

Tests

The tests use shellcheck. You don't need to install anything. They run in a container.

$ make test
