The dotfiles (configuration files for various POSIX applications) of Toby Mackenzie. Primarily config for:
- fish (shell) + CLI helper aliases and commands
- git
- vim
Designed for Toby Mackenzie to easily set up and maintain configuration across multiple machines, but can be used by anybody who likes what they see.
Only works on POSIX-like OS's such as Mac, Linux, BSD. Generally requires bash or compatible shell.
Clone this repo to wherever you want and cd into the repo directory. Then run the dotfiles script to install all dotfiles:
./bin/dotfiles
It will ask you to confirm replacing any files (it will store a backup of them).
Install and init can be done as this one liner:
(: ${pth:=~/.dotfiles} && git clone https://github.com/tobymackenzie/dotfiles.git $pth && $pth/bin/dotfiles init)where the pth shell variable can be used to set a folder for storing the dotfiles project.
Once ran, modify any of the dotfiles to your liking. See "Configuration" section below for setting $PATH, etc.
Install Atom packages by running:
apm install --packages-file ~/.dotfiles/atom/packages.txtand update list with:
apm list --installed --bare > ~/.dotfiles/atom/packages.txtYou can create a _local folder in the project with the following configuration files:
- alias: sourced file with list of shell aliases, must be sourcable by bash, fish, and zsh
- bash: custom sourced file for bash shell
- fish: custom sourced file for fish shell
- path: line-break separated list of paths to use as
$PATH. Be sure to include$PATHwhere the existing paths should go. Works for bash, zsh, and fish - zsh: custom sourced file for zsh shell
This project is organized into folders for each different type of thing the configuration is for ('/sh' for sh based shells, 'vim' for vim, etc). Each folder has a 'dotfiles.json' that specifies what files are to be symlinked where. If you add any files that need to be symlinked in the home folder (or elsewhere) add them to the 'dotfiles.json'.
