dotfiles

My dotfiles and configuration files, and an easy boostrapping framework to install dependencies, applications, preferences on a system.

With help from @holman's dotfiles, with inspiration by @mathiasbynens and others.

layout

  • bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
  • Brewfile: List of apps/dependencies for Homebrew Cask to install. Can and should be modified as needed before setup.
  • [topic]/*.zsh: Any files throughout the projectending in .zsh get loaded into the shell 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. Optional.
  • [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. To specify a custom symlink location for a file called myfile.symlink, simply create a script file in the same directory called myfile.loc, which prints (e.g. echo) the complete path to link to. This can be OS-specific.

install

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

Bootstrapping symlinks files in .dotfiles to the home directory. Modifications should happen within ~/.dotfiles.

zsh/zshrc.symlink is responsible for paths, which may need machine-specific changes.

dot installs dependencies, sets OS defaults, etc. Can be run regularly to refresh and update.
