dalamar42 does holman's dotfiles

dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine, forked from Tom McAdam's, who forked them from Zach Holman's.

If you're interested in the philosophy behind why projects like these are awesome, you might want to read his post on the subject.

These dotfiles for use with the Fish shell.

install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/Dalamar42/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 fish/config.fish, which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

what's inside

A lot of stuff. Seriously, a lot of stuff. Check them out in the file browser above and see what components may mesh up with you. Fork it, remove what you don't use, and build on what you do use.

components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH
• nix/: This contains the nix configuration.
• nix/bin: Anything in the nix bin/ will get added to your $PATH
• stow/: This contains the files that will be symlinked to $HOME
• stow/fish/.config/fish/aliases.fish: The files here are expected to setup aliases
• stow/fish/.config/fish/paths.fish: The files here are expected to add entries to $PATH
• install/: Contains various topical installation scripts

bugs

I want this to work for everyone; that means when you clone it down it should work for you even though you may not have rbenv installed, for example. That said, I do use this as my dotfiles, so there's a good chance I may break something if I forget to make a check for a dependency.

If you're brand-new to the project and run into any blockers, please open an issue on this repository and I'd love to get it fixed for you!

thanks

Thanks to Tom McAdam, then transitively to Zach Holman and his thanks:

"I forked Ryan Bates' excellent dotfiles for a couple years before the weight of my changes and tweaks inspired me to finally roll my own. But Ryan's dotfiles were an easy way to get into bash customization, and then to jump ship to zsh a bit later. A decent amount of the code in these dotfiles stem or are inspired from Ryan's original project."
