Installing Your Dotfiles

The fresh install script fresh checks for a FRESH_LOCAL_SOURCE variable and tries to clone a GitHub repo with the same name into ~/.dotfiles. This means your entire dotfiles can be set up on a brand new machine by simply installing fresh with the variable set.

For example the following lines are used to install entire configurations on clean machines:

# twe4ked's dotfiles
FRESH_LOCAL_SOURCE=twe4ked/dotfiles bash <(curl -sL https://get.freshshell.com)

# jasoncodes' dotfiles
FRESH_LOCAL_SOURCE=jasoncodes/dotfiles bash <(curl -sL https://get.freshshell.com)

We recommend installing your own dotfiles in this way.
