brandonpollack23 / rcfiles

my configuration for unix like enviornments (bsd wont work until i make it)

Initialize system prefs

What do

git clone --recursive https://github.com/brandonpollack23/rcfiles
./install

Bonus for administrators

If you want every user account created to default use these settings/configs/etc you can run

install_skel

which copies the configs as is to skel and

update_root_prefs

which copies the current user's prefs over

Anything else?

It turns on modcgi in apache so you can go to: man2html info2www for pretty docs

What does it do

• dependencies
• symbolic linking of configs
• vim
• tmux
• zsh
• systemd user stuff (like timers)

About systemd directory

Sorry if you dont have systemd, manually disable that part of the script I guess, but I like systemd so i doubt it'll be an issue for me the files are templated to be replaced with $USER by sed in the install script. delims are !USER! There is a way to make this more generic with awk, but its greek to me, see here
