Dotfiles

This repo stores and manages the install of various dotfiles and settings files.

First time set up

On a new environment initial set up is handled by the standalone file init.sh which can be retrieved directly from the master branch.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomassmyth/dotfiles/master/init.sh
sh init.sh

First time running the script will create SSH keys for use with repo hosting services. After the keys are created further running the script will clone this repo, if it does not already exist.
