💻 Mark's Dotfiles

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone and run the setup script:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./setup.sh

2. Install required system dependencies:

brew install coreutils curl git gpg gawk zsh yarn asdf

3. Install Ruby dependencies:

gem install colored colored2

4. Create backups and symlink dotfiles:

rake backup   # Create backups of existing dotfiles
rake symlink  # Create symlinks to new dotfiles

📝 What This Does

• Creates backups of your existing dotfiles in ~/.dotfiles_backup/
• Symlinks new dotfiles from this repo to your home directory
• Preserves your original files as timestamped backups

🔄 Restoring from Backup

Check ~/.dotfiles_backup/ for your timestamped backups.

⚠️ Notes

• Requires colored and colored2 gems for pretty output
• Use rake backup before making any changes
• Use rake symlink to create/update symlinks
