🐚 dotfiles

*nix environment configuration

Part shareable collection, part living and growing personal configurations.

Dependencies

zsh

If you wish to utilize my dotfiles for your own, or you happen to be future me installing this once again - be sure to get zsh setup before continuing.

This is a nifty guide to zsh installation instructions across different systems.

Install

Run this:

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

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.

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

This setup supports a ~/.localrc file for customizations you don't want to commit, such as specific environment variables that should not be exposed to the public.

Issues/Fixes

MacOS Catalina

If compinit issues pop up about insecure directories:

$ compaudit | xargs chmod g-w

Very heavily inspired by holman/dotfiles, in fact I think at one point it had started as a fork of it - also includes work by many many others, so many I can't remember them all. Individual scripts I have borrowed will include attributions as well.
