Installation

Prerequisites

• Git (1.7+)
• Mercurial (1.6+)
• Ruby (1.9 recommended) and RubyGems
• Vim (7.3+ with +ruby, I recommend this formula)
• Tree

Optional, but recommended:

• ZSH
• RVM
• Homebrew (OS X only)

Bootstrapper

The bootstrapper depends on three things: ruby, rake, and bundler. Assuming you have ruby and ruby gems installed on your system: gem install rake bundler.

Note: if using RVM, be sure to use the system ruby before installing.

Then:

zsh < <( curl https://raw.github.com/gf3/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh )

Don't worry, all your old files will be backed up!

Stay Updated

Run the bootstrapper again!

~/.dotfiles/bootstrap.sh
