Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.
I must preface this by giving credit where credit is due. As one can clearly see, this is a fork of [Zach Holman's] (http://zachholman.com/) .dotfile project which I found to be most suitable for my needs.
Run this:
git clone https://github.com/Braynid/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
.
Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your
forked dotfiles โ say, "Java" โ 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 runscript/bootstrap
.
