dotfile collection

Just a dotfile collection taylored for easy deployment. The idea is to automate the whole process of redeploying the environment in case of a sudden urge to format my computer or in case of new computer.

dotfiles

The setup is based on Zach Holman's "bootstrap" technique. read his wonderful post on the subject.

Installation

Run:

git clone https://github.com/crvs/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles/script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.

topical

Just put things in their appropriate topics to keep them organized and save on headaches

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/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
  • topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
  • topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
  • 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 script/bootstrap.
