My dotfiles.

Paste this into the nearest terminal.

sh <(curl -fsSL git.io/~hecticjeff)

There are some dependencies you'll need before starting.

• curl
• git
• zsh

On os x curl and zsh are already there, so you just need git, I recommend homebrew.

brew install git

On Linux you will need to install curl, git and zsh from your distro's package manager.

Running the following command will clone this repository into ~/.dotfiles then symlink any *.symlink files and directories into ~.

sh <(curl -fsSL git.io/~hecticjeff)

To install the dotfiles from source run the following.

git clone https://github.com/hecticjeff/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
bin/dotfiles-install

Finally you need to change your shell to zsh.

chsh -s $(which zsh)

If that all sounds a bit too scary for you then take a look at bin/dotfiles-install to get an idea for what this script does.

Each top level directory (except for bin/) is named after the command that it augments with functionality.

There are two types of files that go in these directories, .symlink and .zsh files.

• .symlink - Generally used for "rc" files (like .zshrc).
• .zsh - adds functionality to zsh.

When installing all of the .symlink files get linked into the $HOME directory, all of the .zsh files get sourced by ~/.zshrc.
