You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles
, with ~/dotfiles
as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.
git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh
To update, cd
into your local dotfiles
repository and then:
source bootstrap.sh
To install these dotfiles without Git:
cd; curl -#L https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh,.osx,LICENSE-MIT.txt}
To update later on, just run that command again.
Suggestions/improvements welcome!
