I do this by by extracting the value from uname and then setting the value to an environtment variable. On MacOS this will return darwin, on most Linux distributions it should return linux. export DOTFILES_OS=`uname | awk '{print tolower($0)}'` In your .Monday, February 8, 2016

What if someone accidentally uploaded a config file to the repository with sensitive information in it? Or what if the user was able to discover a major security vulnerability in the code that would have otherwise remained "
