opinionated dotfiles

Dotfiles customize your system - these are mine. Fork this repository and make it your own!

install

$ git clone https://github.com/jacobwg/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.

dot is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane OS X defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run dot from time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find this script in bin/.

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.

bugs

I want this to work for everyone; that means when you clone it down it should work for you even though you may not have rbenv installed, for example. That said, I do use this as my dotfiles, so there's a good chance I may break something if I forget to make a check for a dependency.

If you're brand-new to the project and run into any blockers, please open an issue on this repository and I'd love to get it fixed for you!
