A new beginning for what used to be my conf_dir project, since dotfiles appears to be the conventional name of these types of repos nowadays.

This uses Ansible to provision new machines and stow for managing conf files that can be symlinked.

Usage

First, install Xcode and the Command Line Tools.

sudo xcode-select --install
open 'https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12'
sudo xcodebuild -license

Then run the bootstrapping script. This installs Homebrew and Ansible, and clones the dotfiles repo into ~/.dotfiles.

curl -L https://raw.github.com/kejadlen/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh | sh

Now ansible can be run to set up mostly everything.

cd ~/.dotfiles/ansible && ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-sudo-pass
rm -f ~/*.retry

Post-Ansible

ln -sF ~/Dropbox/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
