### Install Dotfiles with Git

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Clones the dotfiles repository and executes the bootstrap script to install and configure the environment. This is the primary method for setting up the dotfiles.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh
```

--------------------------------

### Install Dotfiles without Git

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Installs the dotfiles by downloading a tarball archive from GitHub and extracting it directly to the home directory. This method avoids the need for Git.

```bash
cd; curl -#L https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/tarball/main | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh,.osx,LICENSE-MIT.txt}
```

--------------------------------

### Install Homebrew Formulae

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Executes a script named `brew.sh` to install common Homebrew formulae. This is a crucial step for setting up the development environment on macOS, as some dotfile features depend on specific Homebrew-installed packages.

```shell
./brew.sh
```

--------------------------------

### Configure PATH Environment Variable

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Adds a directory to the system's PATH environment variable. This example adds `/usr/local/bin` to the beginning of the PATH, ensuring it's prioritized.

```bash
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
```

--------------------------------

### Apply macOS Defaults

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Executes a script named `.macos` which is designed to set various sensible default configurations for macOS.

```shell
./.macos
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Git User Information

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Sets global Git configuration for user name and email. These variables are typically stored in a `~/.extra` file to avoid committing personal information to the repository.

```bash
# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Mathias Bynens"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="mathias@mailinator.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
```

--------------------------------

### Update Dotfiles with Git

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Updates the local dotfiles repository to the latest version and re-applies configurations. This command should be run from within the local dotfiles directory.

```bash
source bootstrap.sh
```

--------------------------------

### Update Dotfiles (Non-interactive)

Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/README.md

Updates the dotfiles repository and applies configurations without prompting for confirmation. This is useful for automated updates.

```bash
set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh
```
