DISCONTINUED AND DEPRECATED - DO NOT USE

aseith's dot files

dotfiles

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

I've forked them from Zach Holman and stripped and modified everything to suite my needs. Read more about the topical structure and everything else here:

https://github.com/holman/dotfiles

install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/aseith/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, though.

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

You'll also want to change git/gitconfig.symlink, which will set you up as committing as Zach Holman. You probably don't want that.

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java 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 rake install.

what's inside

Not so much at this time. But it may grow over time. Let's see..

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/*.symlink: Any files ending in *.symlink get 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 in when you run rake install.
• topic/*.completion.sh: Any files ending in completion.sh get loaded last so that they get loaded after we set up zsh autocomplete functions.
