⚠ Warnings ⚠

The bootstrap script has been written with a fresh install in mind, it assumes a blank canvas. It will forcibly symlink over your dotfiles if you let it.

Run the bootstrap script:

# packages from brew so you'll need to make sure `brew` is on $PATH after the
# brew install completes. it's safe to re-run `./bootstrap.sh --all` after,
# it'll pick up where it left off
