My dotfiles

Pre-installation

Note: this setup works only on Mac OS X

1. Install Homebrew.

Installation

You can clone the repository wherever you want (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles). The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

$ git clone git@github.com:vasylnakvasiuk/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && make

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

$ make

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra/.zsh/local.zsh exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don't want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra/.zsh/local.zsh looks something like this:

# Git credentials
git config --global user.name "Vasyl Nakvasiuk"
git config --global user.email "vasyl.nakvasiuk@gmail.com"

# Go environment
export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec
export GOPATH=$HOME/Projects/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

You can overwrite something using ~/.extra/.zsh/local.zsh. For example:

# Overwrite alias
alias p="cd ~/Documents/Projects"

# Overwrite environment variable
export EDITOR="emacs"

Or you can extend all your dotfiles configuration using ~/.extra/.zsh/local.zsh like entry point. Your ~/.extra/.zsh/local.zsh can be like this:

for file in ~/.extra/.zsh/{local-exports,local-aliases,local-work-settings}.zsh; do
    [ -r "$file" ] && source "$file"
done
unset file

And in ~/.extra/.zsh/local-exports.zsh, ~/.extra/.zsh/local-aliases.zsh, ~/.extra/.zsh/local-work-settings.zsh you can add your own custom commands.

Colorscheme, font, terminal and editors

I'm using "Base16 Eighties Dark 256" colorscheme and patched "Fira Code" font called "Fira Code Nerd Font". Also my current terminal emulator is WezTerm.

As for text editors, I'm using Helix and Zed.
