Run the installer.
./install.sh
It creates symlinks for all dotfiles in your home directory. You can safely run this file multiple times to update.
Install Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools.
Install homebrew.
brew install git vim zsh the_silver_searcher fasd
brew install tmux reattach-to-user-namespace
brew install rbenv ruby-build
Install tmux-vim-select-pane

Remap Caps Lock to Control. Thank me later.

Your master branch is meant for your customizations. Use the upstream branch
to get updates.
Do this once:
git remote add upstream [email protected]:jsteiner/dotfiles.git
git fetch upstream
git checkout -b upstream upstream/master
Make changes in files that are not in my dotfiles.
For example, to customize your zsh config, make your changes in ~/.zshenv:
# RVM
[[ -s '/Users/croaky/.rvm/scripts/rvm' ]] && source '/Users/croaky/.rvm/scripts/rvm'
# recommended by brew doctor
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
Commit those kinds of things in your master branch.
Then, each time you want to update my changes.
git checkout upstream
git pull
git checkout master
git rebase upstream
