Ivaylo's dotfiles

This is a constantly evolving repo of my user defaults, but you are more than welcome to use it.
I work on OS X 99% of the time, but most of the config files should work on Linux.
I forked Paul Irish, but he recommends forking Mathias or Alrra.

Setup

installing & using

fork this to your own account
clone that repo
read and run parts of setup-a-new-machine.sh
read and run symlink-setup.sh

My favorite parts.

`.aliases`

The aliases are cherry-picked from a few different sources and I'm pretty happy with where they ended up. There are a few nice git aliases in the .gitconfig too.

I'm totally into zsh, but oh-my-zsh felt too wierd and opinionated, and added a lot of aliases I didn't like. I set my shell up using antigen, but when I realized that it was still checking-out oh-my-zsh I got grumpy.

I now have it set up so that I can just copy libs or plug-ins that I like from oh-my-zsh into the dotfiles/zshConfig folder. Sure, I lose git tracking for those libs, but I think I'm OK with that. Oh-my-zsh theme files still work. Just put them in dotfiles/zshThemes.

Sensible OS X defaults

I think this is awesome. I wish I knew about this when I first got this computer. I've commented it out very aggresively so I can un-comment as needed.

I also found this link, which offers consise explanations for what some of the more obscure options actually do.
