dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, based on holman's setup. They should be cloned in ~/.dotfiles. Running the script in script/bootstrap will symlink all files with a .symlink extension in the home directory.

The macos folder contains scripts to set up a new mac machine with my default settings and install all my packages and software. It also installs zsh, and zim. Check out my literate Emacs config.

THE MACOS SCRIPT IS UNTESTED AND SHOULD NOT BE USED

Components

There are a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• Brewfile: This is a list of applications for Homebrew Cask to install: things like Chrome and 1Password and Adium and stuff. Might want to edit this file before running any initial setup.
• topic/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run script/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh.
• topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in *.symlink gets 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.

Symlink dotfiles

Existing files will be kept and renamed to <filename>.backup. Warning: If it is run again the new symlinks may overwrite your backups, so make sure that important files are safe.

git clone https://github.com/harrybournis/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./script/bootstrap

Setup New Mac

Steps:

1. Install zsh: Run ~/.dotfiles/script/install-zsh.sh
2. Install brew and defaults: Run ~/.dotfiles/macos/new-mac-setup.sh
3. Symlink dotfiles: Run ~/.dotfiles/macos/bootstrap
