That git undo push alias is an accident waiting to happen. Though I’m sure the OP has a good reason for including dangerous commands in a script any old newbie can download and install without thinking.

P.S.

wget https://raw.github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/master/.osx

(copied the wrong URL)

I think ‘m3 t00′ meant to write:

wget https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx

as the url in that git command points to the raw file (as if you had cloned the repo and just checked out that one file.)

To actually clone the repository, one would need to run:

git clone git://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git

I wish I understood how to use git better. Can anyone point me to a primer?

When I try m3t00′s method above, I get a fatal error, and “did you run git update-server-info on the server?”

I would if I knew what it meant!!

if you want to undo these afterwards do a find and replace all for ‘true’ to ‘false’

I definitely don’t want all the . files but here’s what I did with the defaults:

git clone https://raw.github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/master/.osx

Go through and # comment out what you don’t want and then:

./.osx
