my dotfiles :)

dotfiles

This is a repo storing my configuration files.

It's mainly for personal use (in order to use the same configuration in different machines), but feel free to use or modifying them, according to your needs.

Installation

In order get the files, clone the files in the directory that you want to store and run the installation script. The script will backup your existing dotfiles (inside backups directory of the dotfiles directory) and will create symlinks for new ones.

In order to install dotfiles open a shell and type the following commands (after you have changed to a desired directory).

git clone https://github.com/iSaran/dotfiles.git
./dotfiles/install.sh
source ~/.bashrc

After the installation change the font of your terminal to one of the powerline fonts.

Notice that, now you will have another ~/.bashrc, that you can add anything you want without messing with the original ~/.bashrc of your system. In order to find the location of the new ~/.bashrc file type:

echo $MYBASHRC

And you can edit it using a text editor (eg vim) with:

vim $MYBASHRC

In order to source it you have to source the original file:

. ~/.bashrc

Dotfiles directory

Your dotfile directory can be found in:

echo $DOTFILES_DIR
