This is where I keep all my dotfiles, preferences, useful shell scripts, etc.
Normally I keep my dotfiles checked out to ~/.dotfiles and I symlink particular files in my home directory to files in my dotfiles directory.
TODO: Script the symlinking.
The directory layout is fairly self-explanatory and I try to comment the dotfiles so I can remember why I actually did what I did...
I am trying out Bash 4 right now. It seems to have most of what I liked about Zsh (fancy globbing, easy completions) but is a bit more standard since it's bash (though now that OS-X has Zsh as an approved shell...)
Set this up with:
brew install bash # Build bash
sudo echo '/usr/local/bin/bash' >> /etc/shells # Add to "approved" shells
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash lritter
# I do this from my homedir and use, say, src/dotfiles as the dotfiles path
ln -s {path-to-cloned-repo}/bash/.bashrc
ln -s {path-to-cloned-repo}/bash/.bash_profile
