dotfiles

Setup

Run:

git clone https://github.com/ljcesca/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This symlinks the appropriate files in dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/dotfiles.

The main file to change is zsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

dot is a script that installs some dependencies, sets sane macOS defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run it to keep your environment up-to-date. You can find this script in bin/.

Shell

Add the output of which zsh to /etc/shells chsh -s $(which zsh)

Fonts

A nerd font is required. Give IntoneMono a try.

Components

There are 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 run script/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 run script/bootstrap.

These are based heavily on Zach Holman's dotfiles.
