Jeff's dotfiles

dotfiles

I use these dotfiles to manage my bash environment. I'm also starting to use zsh on macOS.

My dotfiles are organized very similarly to Zack Holman's dotfiles.

install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/jpitblado/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
install.sh

install.sh symlinks certain files in ~/.dotfiles to $HOME.

For bash, update your .bashrc file to include $HOME/.dotfiles/bash/bashrc.

For zsh, update your .zshrc file to include $HOME/.dotfiles/zsh/zshrc.

topical

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 with an extension of .bashrc or .shrc will get automatically included into your bash shell. Anything with an extension of .zshrc or .shrc will get automatically included into your zsh shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run install.sh.

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/*.bashrc: Any files ending in .bashrc get loaded into your bash environment.
• topic/*.zshrc: Any files ending in .zshrc get loaded into your zsh environment.
• topic/*.shrc: Any files ending in .shrc get loaded into your bash or zsh 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 install.sh.

thanks

I was inspired to reorganize and repackage my dotfiles after looking through Zack Holman's dotfiles. My install.sh script is a modified copy of Zach's script/bootstrap. This README is also a modified copy.
