Some opinionated shell setup for OS X.
This includes some standard config files for git, bash, rvm, nvm, and command line scripts.
To install:
$ git clone git@github.com:sveinhal/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles # creates a hidden .dotfiles directory
$ ~/.dotfiles/script/bootstrap #installs .bashrc, etc. Does not overwrite anythingThe bootstrap script works by finding all files in the .dotfiles directory named dot.* and creates a symlink ~/.foo -> .dotfiles/some/path/dot.foo. This includes among other things .zshrc. This files is executed on every new shell.
The .zshrc script will find all files *.sh and *.zsh in the .dotfiles directory and source them.
This allows one to place various small well-contained files around the .dotfiles directory. E.g put git alias config in .dotfiles/git/alias.sh or zsh prompt config in .dotfiles/zsh/prompt.zsh, etc. To disable a file, just rename it to e.g. foo.sh.disabled (or some other name that does not end in .sh).
The files are sorted numerically before being sourced, so to make the files be sourced in a certain order, you can prefix the files with a number. Say .dotfiles/some/path/999-should-happen-last.sh or .dotfiles/dir/000-important.sh
In addition to setting up various tools, this also adds ~/.dotfiles/bin to your $PATH making some bundled scripts and tools available.
