These are my dotfiles. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

Notes to Future Sams:

Trouble getting Ruby's mysql2 gem to build properly?

You probably need to add a few hints about where stuff is. (Obviously, double-check the paths below; new computers may not need to run MySQL 5.6, for example.)

• If mysql_config can't be found, try adding: -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.6/bin/mysql_config
• If -lss can't be linked, try adding: -- --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
