See my blog for an overview of my dotfile story.
To provision a new machine, clone this repo and simply run:
bash install.shThis will run a bootstrap script to determine the operating system that is running, and then either install Homebrew or Linuxbrew.
After the respective package manager is installed and dotfiles in place, it will continue to install
all brew packages (this will take a while) found in brew/.brewlist:
Finally, when all is complete, an updated version of vim and neovim is installed, along with
vim-plug for plugin management. It may be necessary to restart the $SHELL and install VIM
plugins with:
source $HOME/.bashrc && vim +PluginInstall +qallNOTE
It may be necessary to add the bash shell to /etc/shells, this can be done with:
$ echo /usr/local/bin/bash | sudo tee -a /etc/shellsThen one will need to "change shells" with:
$ chsh -s $(which bash)If the above steps are not done, a common giveaway is history will not "work"

If only temporarily installing on another machine, run:
bash temp/temp-install.shThis is certainly a much simpler task than provisioning a new machine. This script clones this repo and symlinks the relevant configuration files.
Uninstalling, however, was definitely not as simple as hoped. Nonetheless, when
finished, one can run ./uninstall.sh from the dotfile directory itself to
remove all settings.
🚧 WARNING! 🚧
Install and uninstall scripts have been tested but please use with caution. Inspect files first!
