Matthew McVickar's Dotfiles and Computer Setup

Inspired and copied from Mathias Bynens' dotfiles and other projects.

Instructions

  1. Install Homebrew.

  2. Install oh-my-zsh.

  3. Install zsh-autocompletions:

  4. Clone this repo into the home directory.

    git clone https://github.com/matthewmcvickar/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

  5. Run the install.sh script to symlink dotfiles from the home directory to the ~/.dotfiles/homedir/* files.
