Repository for dotfiles, configs, and general user/home environment on *nix systems.

Installation

Run ./install in the repo directory. Everything is installed relative to $HOME, regardless of the checkout location of this repo.

ZSH Configuration

ZSH configuration should automatically be populated into ${HOME}/.zshenv, if that file does not exist already.

Mapping Caps Lock to Escape

• GNOME: Use the tweak tool keyboard settings.
• macOS: Use Karabiner-Elements.
• Windows: Get AutoHotkey and use the script Capslock::Esc.

Usage

Host-specifc Config

Local configuration will be sourced from the following locations:

• All POSIX shells: ~/.profile.local (mainly for env vars and PATH changes)
• zsh: ~/.zshrc.local (also ~/.localrc for backwards compatibility with older versions of this repo)
• vim: ~/.vimrc.local

Where to put shell config

1. Environment variable exports, PATH modifications, and settings that are inherited by processes and are applicable to all POSIX-compatible shells go in sh/profile.
2. Aliases and custom/utility functions for both bash and zsh go in bash/common.sh.
3. Bash-specific config belongs in bash/bashrc, zsh-specific config belongs in zsh/zshrc.
