TODO: insert photo preview of dotfiles

1. Install [Homebrew][homebrew] (if on MacOS)
2. Install zsh
3. Installrcm
4. Set zsh as your login shell
5. Clone dotfiles
6. Sync (restart terminal session and re-sync, if errors)
7. Restart terminal session

For the most up-to-date docs on how to install homebrew, visit [their homepage][homebrew]. For those too lazy to do that, here's a one-liner that'll probably work for you too.

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

For MacOS:

$ brew install zsh

For Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install zsh

For Manjaro Linux:

$ pamac install zsh

For MacOS:

$ brew tap thoughtbot/formulae$ brew install rcm

For Ubuntu:

$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:martin-frost/thoughtbot-rcm$ sudo apt-get install -y rcm

For Manjaro Linux:

$ pamac install rcm

For MacOS:

$ grep -qFe'/usr/local/bin/zsh' /etc/shells&>/dev/null||echo'/usr/local/bin/zsh'| sudo tee -a /etc/shells1>/dev/null$ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh

For Ubuntu:

$ chsh -s"$(command -v zsh)"

For Manjaro:

$ chsh -s"$(command -v zsh)"

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/thelonelyghost/dotfiles.git~/.dotfiles

(Or,fork and keep your fork updated).

$ env RCRC="${HOME}/.dotfiles/rcrc" rcup

After the initial installation, you can runrcup without the one-time variableRCRC being set (rcup will symlink the repo'srcrc to~/.rcrc for future runs ofrcup).See example.

This command will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. Setting theRCRC environment variable tellsrcup to use standard configuration options:

• Exclude theREADME.md andLICENSE files, which are part of thedotfiles repository but do not need to be symlinked in.
• Give precedence to personal overrides which by default are placed in~/.dotfiles-local
• Detect if MacOS or Linux and sync platform-specific files from the relevanttag- directory as well

You can safely runrcup multiple times to update:

$ rcup

You should runrcup after runninggit pull to finalize any updates, otherwise you risk subsequent shell sessions being broken if files that were previously symlinked in-place are removed by the update. Worst case scenario, no changes to the bash shell are made and you can always set/bin/bash as your shell to recover
