My .dotfiles

Config files for ZSH, Ruby, Go, Terminals and more.

Install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/chussenot/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap
chsh -s $(which zsh)

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

Hierarchy

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• Brewfile: This is a list of applications for Homebrew Cask to install: things like Chrome and Spotify and Atom and stuff. Might want to edit this file before running any initial setup.
• 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/*.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 script/bootstrap.
• topic/install.sh: Any file with this name and with exec permission, will ran at bootstrap phase.

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.localrc exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.localrc looks something like this:

# Git credentials
git config --global user.name "Clement Hussenot"
git config --global user.email "chussenot@gmail.com"

# Go environment
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/Projects/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

You can overwrite something using ~/.localrc. For example:

alias p="cd ~/Documents/Projects"

# Overwrite environment variable
export EDITOR="neovim"

Or you can extend all your dotfiles configuration using ~/.localrc like entry point. Your ~/.localrc can be like this:

for file in ~/.extra/.zsh/{local-exports,local-aliases,local-work-settings}.zsh; do
    [ -r "$file" ] && source "$file"
done
unset file

And in ~/.extra/.zsh/local-exports.zsh, ~/.extra/.zsh/local-aliases.zsh, ~/.extra/.zsh/local-work-settings.zsh you can add your own custom commands.
