My personal dotfiles for macOS. Tuned to work with Apple's Terminal.app

♥ the Vim.

The main tasks are Makefile targets. To see the available commands provided by the install, uninstall, update and help scripts run:

make help

To setup your git credentials you'll need to add a .gitconfig.local file to your $HOME directory and add the following:

[user]
  name = YOUR_GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
  email = YOUR_GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
  # signingKey = YOUR_GIT_GPG_SIGNING_KEY
[github]
  user = YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME

Note: Git will ignore *.local files. The install/uninstall script symlinks/removes a gitconfig.local.

Install GPG Keychain for GPG signing to happen automatically. See GPG Tools for more information. To get your GPG signing key you can either open up GPG Keychain, or run gpg --list-keys and add this to in your .gitconfig.local file. If you are transferring a key to a new computer see the knowledge base article
