My dotfiles

These are the configuration files I want on every machine I use. I run both OS X and Linux, so I try to keep things as portable as possible.

This repository is laid out in the format expected by thoughtbot's dotfile manager, rcm.

Installation

Clone to the standard rcm dotfiles location:

git clone git://github.com/eugeneius/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Install rcm:

https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm#installation

Bootstrap the .rcrc file, then install everything else:

rcup rcrc && rcup

Local overrides

Wherever possible, each file tries to load local overrides: .bashrc sources .bashrc.local, for example.

This lets me avoid committing machine-specific or sensitive details.
