Simplified version of Dotfiles for when using Oh My Zsh

Matt’s dotfiles (from Mathias and Paul Irish) adapted for ZSH

Installation

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles, with ~/dotfiles as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/mattstauffer/ohmyzsh-dotfiles.git

The bootstrap.sh file currently doesn't work, so just copy any of the dotfiles you like into your home directory.

Git-free install

To install these dotfiles without Git:

cd; curl -#L https://github.com/mattstauffer/ohmyzsh-dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh}

To update later on, just run that command again.

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.mix-path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.mix-path file that adds ~/utils to the $PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/utils:$PATH"

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.mix-extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

Install Homebrew formulae

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):

brew bundle .brewfile
