Dotfiles

Setting up

Make sure you have Homebrew installed.

Install necessary packages:

$ brew install git stow vim

Clone this repo into your home directory and then cd into it to issue the stow command:

$ git clone https://github.com/ryanswood/dotfiles.git dotfiles
$ cd dotfiles
$ stow vim zsh rubygems git

Setup utility script symlinks:

$ ln -s ~/dotfiles/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

Add your .zshrc.local file to your home directory. This is for customization specific to you. You can either create an empty file or symlink from an existing location:

$ touch ~/.zshrc.local

cp vscode/conf.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json

5. Create a DNS resolver: A. sudo mkdir -v /etc/resolver B. sudo bash -c 'echo “nameserver 127.0.0.1” > /etc/resolver/local.dev'
