dotfiles's Introduction

Lightrains Tech dotfiles

dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system.

If you're interested in the philosophy behind why projects like these are awesome, you might want to read a post on the subject.

Install

Run this for Apple Silicon M1 & M2:

git clone https://github.com/niksmac/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/install && script/bootstrap

If you are not using Apple M1 Mac, please pull old-mac branch

git clone --single-branch --branch old-mac https://github.com/niksmac/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/install && 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.

Upgrade

Upgrade can be done in 2 ways

1. Manual

You can update the dotfiles by manually going into your ~/.dotfiles and pulling latest updates

cd ~/.dotfiles

# Commit your local changes if any
gac "Ref: my local changes"

# Pull latest changes
git pull

# Update
script/install && script/bootstrap

2. Using dot

dot is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane OS X 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/.

However it will not update the dotfiles itself from the origin-master

Topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles โ€” say, "Java" โ€” 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 script/bootstrap.

Blocking ads/tracking websites

Run ./script/hostsinit to modify your hosts files so that you don't see any ads like ever. Thanks to StevenBlack/hosts

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 to setup $PATH or similar.
  • topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
  • 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 script/bootstrap.
