Subcommands

overseer brain init

Clone the brain repo from brain.url in config. Use this on a fresh machine to pull down your existing brain.

overseer brain init

overseer brain setup

Pull the latest brain changes and re-apply config: symlinks dotfiles, installs Brew packages, and applies git profiles. Equivalent to running the relevant parts of the setup wizard without the interactive prompts.
