David's dotfiles

The use of this repo is mainly as a backup of my dotfiles for myself and to provide documentation and a headless installation of my development environment.

It's originally forked from Mathias Bynens' dotfiles and I took a couple of ideas from Paul Irish's fork of Mathias' repo.

Mathias' is the repo to fork, though.

Install the necessary apps

My basic setup is captured in setup.sh which adds homebrew, z, nvm, node, npm, rvm, ruby etc.

Before running setup.sh, make sure to install Apple’s Xcode Command Line Tools to get the correct C language compiler for installing RVM.

Private config

Put any private configuration into a file called .extra which you do not commit to this repo and just keep in your ~/

Syntax highlighting for dotfiles

Install Dotfiles Syntax Highlighting via Sublime Text 2 Package Control
