.dotfiles

.dotfiles are how you configure and personalize your unix based system. This repo contains dot files I am using.

thanks

All credits go to Zack Holman for his dotfiles repo. The structure and even a lot of scripts of this repo are merely inspired or coming directly from Zach's project.

If you really have no idea at all on what are dot files you can have a look at Zack's post on the subject.

Install

git clone git://github.com/bcharbonnier/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install

Executing this task will basically symlink all different sort of configuration files from .dotfiles to your home directory.

My default interpreter is zsh. Accordingly to that, the main file you might want and will have to tweak is zsh/zshrc.symlink. Some private paths are set up in here.

To have syntax highlighting with grc you have to install few stuff

brew install xy coreutils grc

Special

The hierarchy in the project include some special files

• bin/: Anything put inside bin/ will get added to your $PATH so you could use it anywhere.
• **/*.zsh: Any .zsh files will get loaded to your environment.
• **/*.symlink: Any files ending with .symlink extension will get symlinked to your $HOME directory. These get symlinked when running rake install.

For more information about how to customize or how to add new stuff, please refer to Zach's documentation where everything is much better described.
