dotfiles's Introduction

My dotfiles

My disaster recovery plan.

Purpose

This repository contains most of my base configuration for bash shells, but is primarily focused on OSX. These files make it simple to configure a new machine from scratch as well as keep it up-to-date over time.

Installation

Prerequisites

git must be installed
bash should be configured as the preferred shell

Command

git clone https://github.com/travi/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles/setup/ && source init.sh

What does it do?

System Bootstrapping

setup/init.sh presents two options:

Environment configuration
Software Installation/Update

Environment Configuration

Creates a symlink for ~/.dotfiles in the home directory
Symlinks dotfiles from each folder under ~/.dotfiles into the home directory
Symlinks dotfiles from each folder under ~/.dotfiles.extra into the home directory
Symlinks maven plugins into global plugins directory
Symlinked .bash_profile sources several files in order to:
- Define environment variables
- Define aliases
- Enable my custom prompt
- Source additional files from ~/.dotfiles/osx/ and ~/.dotfiles/windows/
- Source ~/.dotfiles.extra/bash/source.sh
