dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. There are many like them but these are mine... managed with GNU Stow and BASh scripting.

Installation

1. Install GNU stow

brew install stow

2. Clone repository

git clone [email protected]:infosmith/dotfiles.git $HOME/my.dotfiles

3. Stow shell

cd ~/my.dotfiles && stow shell

This will fail if instances of the files to be symlinked already exist. If so, rename those files to filename.bkup. Keep these backups around in case my configuration doesn't float your boat.

4. Restart the terminal session

5. Stow additional packages

cd ~/my.dotfiles
stow git # must git config user and change existing ~/.ssh keynames in directory or ~/.ssh/config file
stow javascript # assumes nvm is installed
stow python # assumes miniconda is installed
etc..

Package Requirements

Package	Requirements
git	git, icdiff, meld, diff-so-fancy
javascript	nvm
python	miniconda, isort, ipython
shell	zsh, oh-my-zsh, direnv
