Dotfiles
Special thanks to for showing me the art of dotfiles, and for sharing his. Which I shamelessly stole to get started with them myself.
Installing/updating
Bootstrapping sets up a .gitconfig for you and links the actual dotfiles from the repo to their targets (this assumes $USER is your Github username).
git clone https://github.com/$USER/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
(cd ~/.dotfiles; script/bootstrap)
There's the install commmand which runs all **/install.sh files, they install packages and setup other things that straight dotfiles cannot do. These scripts are written in sh, are zsh is not yet assumed to be available (one of these scripts will install zsh).
(cd ~/.dotfiles; script/install)
If not already on zsh you probably want to run the following.
chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh $USER
Packages I use that are available in Ubuntus
