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

./bin/dot
dot
is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane macOS
defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run dot
from
time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find
this script in bin/
.
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'll be different on your particular machine.
Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your
forked dotfiles β say, "node" β you can simply add a node
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 $HOME
when you run dot
or dot --link
.
There's a few special files in the hierarchy.
- bin/: Anything in
bin/
will get added to your$PATH
and be made available everywhere. - Brewfile: This is a list of applications for Homebrew Cask to install: things like Chrome and 1Password and stuff. Might want to edit this file before running any initial setup.
- 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 to setup$PATH
or similar. - topic/completion.zsh: Any file named
completion.zsh
is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete. - topic/install.sh: Any file named
install.sh
is executed when you rundot
ordot --install
. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is.sh
, not.zsh
. - topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in
*.symlink
gets symlinked into your$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 in when you rundot
ordot --link
.
I forked Zach Holman's awesome dotfiles which were an easy way to start my own customization.
