This repository includes all of my custom dotfiles. They should be cloned to
your home directory so that the path is ~/.dotfiles/. The included setup
script creates symlinks from your home directory to the files which are located
in ~/.dotfiles/.
The setup script is smart enough to back up your existing dotfiles into a
~/.dotfiles_old/ directory if you already have any dotfiles of the same name as
the dotfile symlinks being created in your home directory.
So, to recap, the install script will:
- Back up any existing dotfiles in your home directory to
~/.dotfiles_old/ - Create symlinks to the dotfiles in
~/.dotfiles/in your home directory
OSX does not load .bashrc file by default. You need to add source ~/.bashrc into .profile or .bash_profile. More info
