This repository contains my personal dotfiles.

Mac Setup

.dot files

This repository contains my personal dotfiles. They are stored here for convenience so that I may quickly access them on new machines or new installs. Also, others may find some of my configurations helpful in customising their own dotfiles.

I use the git bare repository method for managing my dotfiles.

Once you have initiated a new bare repository (thanks DistroTube) browse to the configuration file you’d like to push to the repo and run the following commands:

$ config add /path/to/file
$ config commit -m "A short message"
$ config push
