dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, they are prepared to work along with oh-my-zsh.

The structure and most contents of my dotfiles are based on holman's dotfiles, so big thanks to him for sharing such a great resource: https://github.com/holman/dotfiles

install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/oriolbcn/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

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

The main file you'll want to change right off the bat is zsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Go" — you can simply add a go 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 script/bootstrap.

components

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/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
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. These get symlinked in when you run script/bootstrap.

thanks

As said, this repo is based on holman's dotfiles and adapted to my own needs.

things to remember

Stuff to do when configuring a new machine:

Install oh-my-zsh
Install homebrew
Install rvm
gem install localt
Run script/bootstrap
Run script/install
Run osx/set-defaults-sh

I should probably have a script to run all that the first time.

Things to do from time to time:

brew update
