Based off of the excellent repo from Mathias Bynens.
You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles, with ~/dotfiles as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.
git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.shTo update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:
source bootstrap.shAlternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:
set -- -f; source bootstrap.shIf ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.
Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
