My Dotfiles

Installation

Run this:

git clone [email protected]:ksokhan/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/dotfiles.

Note: some paths might need to change in zsh/zshrc.symlink.

dot is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane OS X defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run dot from time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find this script in bin/.

TODO

• Add updating functionality for spf-13 vim to dot
• Add some more stuff from the awesome oh-my-zsh to this (maybe integrate it altogether?)

Components

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
• topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
• topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
• topic/*.symlink: Any files ending in *.symlink get symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run script/bootstrap.
