dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine. This repository is based in the original dotfiles promoted by @holman.

Install

• git clone git://github.com/igalarzab/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
• cd ~/.dotfiles
• python bootstrap.py

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.

Components

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run bootstrap.

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
• 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.
• topic/*.configsymlink: Any files ending in *.configsymlink get symlinked into your $HOME/.config.
