Dotfiles

💻 Automated configuration, preferences and software installer for macOS, linux and WSL.

This dotfiles setup has been created for personal use across several devices.

Tested on:

Install

Depending on the system, some of the installation steps might differ.

Mac OS

Before being able to clone the repo, we first need to setup git.

xcode-select --install

Next, clone this repository. Personal preference is to clone this into a directory representing the github user name.

mkdir -p $HOME/jorgenkrieger
git clone https://github.com/JorgenKrieger/dotfiles.git $HOME/jorgenkrieger/dotfiles

After cloning the repo, run the install scripts.

WSL

Start off with cloning the repository.

mkdir -p $HOME/jorgenkrieger
git clone https://github.com/JorgenKrieger/dotfiles.git $HOME/jorgenkrieger/dotfiles

Essential knowledge

Warning

Although dotfiles contain most preferences, not all preferences are equally sharable (think security settings). That's why the dotfiles repository should only contain shareble data and be symlinked into the system.
