My Dotfiles for Linux Desktop

These are my dotfiles and general system preferences adapted for Debian-type Linux systems. This setup is intended for a personal development machine, not a web-facing server.

Linux Bootstrap Script

This repo previously contained my entire provisioning solution for a new machine running Linux. I've now extracted the provisioning functionality into its own repository. Check it out:

▹ Provision a new machine with Linux Bootstrap.

NOTE: Linux Bootstrap automatically clones and installs this dotfiles repo.

Prerequisites

The dotfiles assume you are running Ubuntu 14.04 (or similar) with the following software preinstalled:

• Git
• Vim
• Tmux
• oh-my-zsh
• Ruby
• rbenv

All of the above and more are included in Linux Bootstrap.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/joshukraine/linux-dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
source ~/dotfiles/install.sh

Post-install Tasks

After running install.sh there are still a couple of things that need to be done.

• Add personal data to ~/.gitconfig.local and ~/.zshrc.local.
