dotfiles

My dotfiles

Pre-setup

• gas-mask/work.hst: Extended hosts file for work-related hostname mappings. If file does not exist, an empty file will be created
• git/gitconfig.local.symlink: Extended Git configuration for private, or work-related stuff
• git/gitignore.local.symlink: Extended ignore list for Git, referenced in gitconfig.local.symlink
• tmux/tmux.conf.local.symlink: Extended Tmux configuration for private, or work-related stuff

Installation

mkdir -p ~/projects/dotfiles
cd ~/projects/dotfiles
git clone https://github.com/alebelcor/dotfiles.git .
source scripts/bootstrap

Git-free install

mkdir -p ~/projects/dotfiles
cd ~/projects/dotfiles
curl --location https://github.com/alebelcor/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xz --strip-components 1 --exclude={.editorconfig,.gitattributes,.gitignore,license,readme.md}
source scripts/bootstrap

Usage

Everything is built around "topics". A "topic" is a folder associated to a specific subject (e.g. node for Node.js). A "topic" will have setup and configuration relevant to the subject like so:

• topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH
• topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment
• topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to set up autocomplete
• topic/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run scripts/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh
• topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in .symlink gets symlinked into your $HOME when you run script/bootstrap

There are other files/folders not related to a specific "topic":

• bin/: Anything here will get added to the $PATH
• scripts/: Contains scripts relevant to the dotfiles installation
• Brewfile: A list of command-line utils, apps, and others, that will be installed via Homebrew, Homebrew-Cask, and mas-cli
