There's a few special files in the hierarchy.
- bin/: Anything in
bin/
will get added to your$PATH
and be made available everywhere. - topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in
.zsh
get loaded into your environment. - topic/path.zsh: Any file named
path.zsh
is loaded first and is expected to setup$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 runscript/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 runscript/bootstrap
.
Run this:
git clone https://github.com/kubitz/dots.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'll be different on your particular machine.
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/
.
