My Dotfiles

These are my personal configuration files. Here be dragons.

If you're looking for my old dotfiles install script, it's been moved to yadem. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Installation

These are my personal configuration files, and I've taken a lot of steps to make sure these work on both Linux and BSD, with either zsh or bash (and csh, although I don't have much set up for it). I doubt you'd want to clone this entire repository just for my files, but if you do, feel free to do so. Otherwise, just copy the lines you want and paste them into your dotfiles.

If you want the whole enchilada, I recommend installing yadem and following the README.

If you don't want the manager script, just clone the repository and link the files in your home directory. There exists an installation script in bin/, but all it does is try to link the files in your home directory. If the file already exists, this won't succeed. A list will print of what installed and what didn't.

git clone https://github.com/evanthegrayt/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
bash bin/install

"Local" Config Files

Something I did that people might find interesting: There are settings I have that are specifically for work that I didn't want to publicly commit, so I have added a feature to deal with this issue. If a file exists in your home directory with the same name, but has a .local extension, that file will be sourced after the file from the repository is loaded. This allows for overriding settings from the files in the repository. You can keep these locally, or store them in a private repository, which is what I've done. Currently, only one "local" counterpart is supported for each dotfile; that is, one .bashrc.local for your .bashrc. You can find which files will source "local" counterparts in the config folder of my CLI environment manager script.

FAQ

Where's your vimrc?

Vim supports keeping your vimrc within your .vim directory itself, and I have a separate repository for all my vim files. You can see them here.

Self-Promotion

I do these projects for fun, and I enjoy knowing that they're helpful to people. Consider starring the repository if you like it! If you love it, follow me on github!
