dotfiles

macOS development environment powered by Dotbot.

Install

Homebrew will be installed automatically if not already present. ~/.dotfiles is the default clone path used in examples, but any clone path works.

git clone https://github.com/jasongofford/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
make bootstrap
make apply

Update

cd ~/.dotfiles
make update

Upgrade

cd ~/.dotfiles
make upgrade

Doctor

make doctor

Re-apply Config Symlinks

Run this after pulling changes that add or modify config files, without reinstalling packages:

make apply

Run A Single Step

make step STEP=05-shell

Common Commands

• make bootstrap — install/bootstrap system dependencies.
• make apply — apply dotfile links and post-link setup.
• make update — pull latest repo changes and re-apply config.
• make upgrade — upgrade packages/tools and re-apply config.
• make doctor — run non-mutating prerequisite and environment checks.
• make dock — optional Dock rebuild.

Notes

• First-time install may prompt for sudo to set the default shell (Homebrew zsh).
• App Store installs require signing into the Mac App Store (used by mas). If you skip this step, run make step STEP=04-brew-mas after signing in.
• Configs are symlinked into your home directory. Edit files in your clone and run make apply to re-apply.
• Machine-specific git config goes in ~/.gitconfig.local — it is included automatically and never tracked.
