Requirements

To use these dotfiles, you need git and stow installed.

brew install git stow

Installation

First, backup (recommended) or remove your current dotfiles, e.g. backing up .zshrc.

mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.bak

Next, clone this repo to your $HOME directory and cd into the dotfiles directory.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/davisssamuel/dotfiles.git && cd ~/dotfiles

Finally, use Stow to create symlinks to these dotfiles.

stow .

NOTE: if you have dotfiles that were not backed-up or removed, Stow may not create symlinks and throw a conflict error. Use the adopt flag to override this repo's dotfiles with your own.

stow --adopt .

Options

If you are using bash and want the same prompt, add the following to your .bashrc.

if [ ! -f $HOME/.git-prompt.sh ]; then
    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/refs/heads/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh > $HOME/.git-prompt.sh
