dotfiles

A place to keep config files so we can share and track them, with a script to symlink them for you. To get this up and running:

1. Fork this repo (so you can make changes for yourself)
2. Clone your fork into ~/dotfiles
3. Add this repo as the upstream branch: cd ~/dotfiles && git remote add upstream git@github.com:jasonrhodes/dotfiles.git
4. Pull all latest changes from upstream: git fetch upstream && git merge upstream/master
5. Make sure you have bash-completion installed: brew list | grep bash-completion if nothing is returned, run: brew install bash-completion (don't worry about what it tells you to put in your .bash_profile, it's already there)
6. Make the symlink script executable: chmod +x ~/dotfiles/symlink.sh
7. Run the symlink.sh script: ~/dotfiles/symlink.sh

Current dotfiles included

.bash_profile

Bash configuration file loaded on every terminal session. If you make a change here, make sure you run source ~/.bash_profile to reload it. Things that go here are bash aliases, $PATH definition, bash prompt setup, etc.

.gitconfig

User-level configuration file for all things git. Anything you would normally add with git config --global --add key.subkey value can be added in the .gitconfig file as:

[key] 
	subkey = value

We currently set up user config (which you should change to be your own user/email), color ui turned on, and git aliases.
