Josh W Lewis' dotfiles

Thanks to Matias' dotfiles for the template and inspiration.

Installation

Warning: This will overwrite your existing dotfiles. Back them up!

git clone https://github.com/joshwlewis/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh

Updating

The bootstrap script symlinks your dotfiles. So you can just update this repo with git pull.

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra 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.
