dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.

Install

• git clone git://github.com/dchimeno/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
• cd ~/.dotfiles
• git submodule init
• git submodule update
• python3 bootstrap.py
• chsh -s /bin/zsh # Change shell in case you're using another one

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.

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/*.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 python3 bootstrap.py.

Recommended software

Software that it is not necessary to have but you should.

• Brew
• Python3

Fonts

Install fonts in the /fonts/ folder In case of iterm2, set the font on Preferences / Profiles / Fonts (Both Font and NON-ASCII Font)

Recommended packages

Install brew and then, inside the homebrew/<machine>/ directory run:

brew bundle install

To record all installed packages to a file, use:

brew bundle dump --force --file=$DOTFILES/homebrew/[machost,work]/Brewfile

Configure git

To configure git, you need to create a git/gitconfigpersonal and or git/gitconfigwork files in order to configure git according to the environment you use. More info in the first lines of the ``git/gitconfig.symlink` file.

## Secret

Put secrets in $DOTFILES/.localrc

Update

In order to update submodules, run: git submodule update --recursive --remote
