My personal dotfiles

Readme banner

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.

It contains the installation of some basic tools, some handy aliases and functions.

Topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new are to your forked dotfiles, you can simply create a new directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

Components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy:

  • bin/: Anything in bin will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
  • topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
  • topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected o setup $PATH or similar.
  • topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
  • topic/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run script/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh.
  • topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in .symlink gets symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked when you run script/bootstrap.

Installation

You can install this dotfiles by cloning this repo as .dotfiles in your home directory and running the bootstrap script.

git clone [email protected]:mateusjunges/dotfiles.git .dotfiles
cd .dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within .dotfiles.

The main file you'll want to change right off the bat is zsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a few paths that will be different on your particular machine.

dot is a simple script that installs dependencies and set MacOS defaults. Run dot from time to time to keep you environment fresh and up-to-date. The script can be found in bin\.
