Paul's dotfiles

This repo is mostly for me but you're welcome to make suggestions. mathias's readme is the project to fork. I'm mostly catching up to him, @alrra, @paulmillr, @gf3.

My basic new machine setup is captured in setup-a-new-machine.sh which adds homebrew, z, nave, etc.

private config

Toss it into a file called .extra which you do not commit to this repo and just keep in your ~/

I do something nice with my PATH there:

# PATH like a bawss
      PATH=/opt/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/.rvm/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/code/git-friendly
# ...

export PATH

Syntax highlighting

…is really important. even for these files.

Install Dotfiles Syntax Highlighting via Sublime Text 2 Package Control

Running sync copies from your dotfiles repo into ~/. I'd prefer to do proper symlink but haven't gotten that far yet.

./sync.sh

To update later on, just run the sync again.
