Dotfiles repo

Dotfiles

My personal Dotfiles repository.

Notes

• This dotifles repo contains a private git submodule to store sensitive data.
• nano-highlight is also added as a submodule to pull updated Nano syntax highlighting rules.
• I use Antigen to pull some plugins needed for ZSH
  • zsh-autosuggestions: Command suggestions while typing
  • zsh-syntax-highlighting: Syntax highlighting
  • zsh-history-substring-search: Search past commands in history with up-down arrows (even partial search)
  • zsh-async: Used to load git prompt asynchronously, since it can be slow with big repos
• git-prompt.zsh is included to provide git prompt customization

Setup

• Install ZSH

• Clone this repo under $HOME with this command

  cd $HOME
  git clone --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules https://github.com/Hecsall/dotfiles .dotfiles
  # Private submodule is checked out as a detached head, so I need to enter and manually checkout master
  cd .dotfiles/private
  git checkout master

• The install script will create symlinks in your home directory removing existing files, so be sure to backup them first.

• Read the point above again, just to be sure.

• Install with ./install.sh
