env

User configuration files with an emphasis on macOS, although an incomplete effort has been made to support linux. Some of these files have origins in Debian's /etc/skel/.

Install homebrew

I don't recommend installing homebrew in the default location of /usr/local. Too much other software will pollute that directory, some of which could conflict with homebrew. The major disadvantage of installing homebrew elsewhere is that much of what homebrew installs will need to be compiled on your computer instead of taking advantage of the pre-compiled 'bottles' that homebrew provides

git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew ~/opt/brew
~/opt/brew/bin/brew tap homebrew/cask

Downloading and Installing

DANGER You probably have some or many of these files with important settings. Overwriting them could be bad.

WARNING Don't use a .bash_profile. It will prevent .profile from being read. Merge any changes you care about in .bash_profile into either .profile or a custom .bash.d/*.sh.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sgblanch/env.git ~/opt/env

install -m 0700 -d ~/.ssh/mux
