Felix G. Borrego dotfiles (based on Juan G. Hurtado & @holman)

Dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine. The very prejudiced mix: OS X, ZSH (with zshuery), Git, Vim. If you match up along most of those lines, you may dig my dotfiles.

If you're interested in the philosophy behind why projects like these are awesome, you might want to @holman post on the subject.

Install

• git clone git://github.com/felixgborrego/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
• cd ~/.dotfiles
• git submodule init
• git submodule update
• rake install

The install rake task will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles, though.

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.

Topics

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything named aliases.zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run rake install.

ZSH and zshuery

ZSH trickery is handled by zshuery, with Git prompt support by @sorin-ionescu fork of oh-my-zsh.

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/\aliases.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
• 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 rake install.

Recommended installed software

Thanks

This dotfiles are built around the ones by @holman, so BIG thanks to him.
