Files for configuring my Mac OS X boxes, including hidden dot files and scripts. This repository is used to transfer changes back and forth between machines.

Inspired by https://github.com/markcarroll/dotfiles, https://github.com/jasoncodes/dotfiles, and https://github.com/jasoncodes/scripts.

bash < <( curl -sL http://github.com/DavidPotter/MacConfig/raw/master/install.sh )

Installing in this way will do the following:

• Clone this Git repository to ~/bin/MacConfig.
• Attempt to create a symbolic link for all the files in the dotfiles subdirectory in your root directory.

To take full advantage of these scripts, you also need to install the following packages:

• Git - This is installed with Xcode. Go to the Downloads pane of the Preferences panel to do this.
• Git Completion (*) - This is located in the contrib directory of the git repository, which can be found at https://github.com/git/git.git.
• Git-Flow (*) - This can be found at https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git.
• Git-Flow Completion (*) - This can be found at https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion.git.
• git wtf command - This can be found at git://gitorious.org/willgit/mainline.git/.
• Ruby - If you have Ruby installed additional features are added for editing and recognizing Ruby files. Most of this is commented out as I don't currently use Ruby.

To install the starred items, you can execute the install-tools.sh script.
