holman does dotfiles

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

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

Forked from this repo. Take a look at the original doc if you are interested.

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/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/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run script/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh.
• topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in *.symlink gets 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.

install

Run this:

# Skip this if have already installed ohmyzsh under $HOME/.oh-my-zsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
git clone https://github.com/wenboz1122/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/.

Additional manual work

• Install Sublime Text manually
• If you are using iterm2
  • go to Settings > Profile > Text, use Font Roboto Medium ... and toss font size
  • go to Settings > Profile > Colors, use Solarized Dark color presets
  • go to Settings > Profile > Windows, Toss Style and Screen to control how to open new windows
• [optional] Twist command line prompt
  • Open ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/agnoster.zsh-theme and find prompt_context. Change it to whatever you want. E.g. prompt_segment black default "🚀"

Troubleshooting

• Remove company specific packages (e.g. airbnb).
• The installer will stop whenever a script fails. Keep an eye on the logging at the end. If there is any error raised, some installation might have been skipped.
• Installation failure might due to wrong package downloaded. E.g. miniconda has different packages for x86, m1, etc.
