dotfiles: A Shell repository from zigomir

Forked from my ZSH dotfiles, those are my Fish Shell config files, together with editor, macOS configs and other goodies.

The main reasons for the fork are:

a lot of things I have out of the box on Fish needed plugins on zsh
Fish autocompletion is awesome
Fish syntax is easier to use
Fish is more modern.

This is an attempt to make the same things I had on my ZSH dotfiles on Fish. For the user, it should look pretty much the same, although under the hood there are a lot of changes.

Config files are still topical, and even though aliases are not a thing on Fish, files are named like that still (and hold both functions and abbreviations).

The auto-update feature was removed, as it was hacky on ZSH and I didn't want to do it. Instead, now the bootstrap script is better and can be run multiple times without any issues, so, to update, git pull and run the bootstrap.fish script.

Installation

Dependencies

First, make sure you have all those things installed:

git: to clone the repo
curl: to download some stuff
tar: to extract downloaded stuff
fish: the shell
sudo: some configs may need that

Install

Then, run these steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/caarlos0/dotfiles.fish.git ~/.dotfiles
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ ./script/bootstrap.fish

All changed files will be backed up with a .backup suffix.

Update

To update, you just need to git pull and run the bootstrap script again:

$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ git pull origin master
$ ./script/bootstrap.fish

Revert

Reverting is not totally automated, but it pretty much consists in removing the fish config and dotfiles folder, as well as moving back some config files.

Remove the folders:

$ rm -rf ~/.dotfiles ~/.config/fish

Some config files were changed, you can find them using fd:

$ fd -e backup -e local -H -E Library -d 3 .

And then manually inspect/revert them.

macOS defaults

You use it by running:

~/.dotfiles/macos/set-defaults.sh
