1. Homebrew & Git - SerbanC/SerbanC.github.io GitHub Wiki

Start here. You'll get most of your stuff via brew or git.

  1. cURL Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"


2. install Homebrew Cask which is a Homebrew library containing binary apps (i.e. apps you would normally install via the App Store, .dmg's etc.)

   ```bash
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

  1. Then install Git with Homebrew

brew install git

4. Create and add some recommended files to the global .gitignore so you won't be bothered with them again

   ```bash
[sudo] touch ~/.gitignore_global

[sudo] vim ~/.gitignore_global

Leave the first line *~, and add the contents of this helper: move your cursor to the line below *~, press i and paste the contents then :wq 5. set Git to use that file for global exclusion patterns

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
