ascudder / dotfiles

Configuration .files for my home directory. Forked and customized from Mathias Bynens’ and Paul Irish’s dotfiles.

Matthew McVickar's Dotfiles

Forked from Mathias Bynens’ set.

Instructions

NOTE: While the initial dotfiles setup here can be run on its own, it is automatically included in my Setup script.

Grab this set of dotfiles and run it for the first time.

$ git clone https://github.com/matthewmcvickar/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./build_dotfiles.sh --force

When updating dotfiles thereafter, run:

$ dots

(This is an alias of bash ~/Sites/matthewmcvickar/dotfiles/build_dotfiles.sh --force, defined in ~/.aliases.)
