mathias's readme is awesome. go read it.

I forked this from Paul Irish, who forked from Mathias. For now, this is pretty much just copying them. Very cool for a developer to maintain personal prefs...

My basic setup is captured in install-deps.sh which adds homebrew, z, nave, etc.

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

…is really important. even for these files.

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./.osx

I recommend getting a .jshintrc and .editorconfig defined for all your projects.

• .ackrc - for ack (better than grep)
• .vimrc, .vim - vim config, obv.

• .aliases
• .bash_profile
• .bash_prompt
• .bashrc
• .exports
• .functions
• .extra - not included, explained above

• install-deps.sh - random apps i need installed
• .osx - run on a fresh osx machine
• .brew - homebrew intialization

• .git

• .gitattributes

• .gitconfig

• .gitignore

• .inputrc - config for bash readline

To update later on, just run the sync again.
