Darfink's dotfiles

These are my dotfiles; to get started run

git clone --recurse-submodules git://github.com/darfink/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Ensure that GNU stow is installed and change directory to ~/.dotfiles.

Once you are in the right place, run stow <package> to setup a configuration.

Packages

These are the available package configurations:

• alacritty - terminal settings.
• dotbin - utilities and tools.
• emacs - spacemacs setup.
• gdb - GDB dashboard.
• generic - config for curl/dig/dircolors/readline.
• git - config and aliases.
• python
• ruby
• ssh
• tmux
• vim
• vscode
• zsh

Operating system

macOS

Ensure you set zsh as the default shell, by adding it to /etc/shells and executing chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh.

The path_helper utility is also troublesome; it uses /etc/zprofile to set the shell's $PATH (therefore being invocated after ~/.zshenv), and it prepends to the $PATH instead of appending. To circumvent this, remove /etc/zprofile and replace it with /etc/zshenv consisting of the following content:

# Avoid clobbering home
export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.config/zsh"

# Prevent prepending to $PATH when invoking subshells
if [[ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper && $SHLVL -eq 1 ]]; then
	eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
