megabytemb does dotfiles

dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.

install

git clone git@github.com:megabytemb/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./bootstrap
./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.

ongoing updates

dotupdate

Wasn't that simple?

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 .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.
