# Dotfiles

These are my personal Linux dotfiles, I use Zsh + [Oh My Zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/) and the [Powerlevel10k](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k) theme.

These can be used on any "fresh" Linux system, or with Devcontainers / Codespaces

This shell configuration is unlikely to be to everyone's tastes 😁

## File Index

Main scripts

- `install.sh` – Main install script

The following files are aliased from ~/dotfiles into your $HOME directory when install.sh is run:

- `bin/` – My personal bash scripts, helpers and other things. Quite a lot of junk TBH

- `.bashrc` – Bash setup/startup script

- `.gitconfig` – My personal git config

- `.p10k.zsh` – Customized Powerlevel10k prompt settings

- `.profile` – Untouched but synced just in case

- `.zshrc` – Zsh setup/startup script, enables Oh My Zsh and Powerlevel10k

These files remain in ~/dotfiles but are referenced from from the rc start up scripts

- `common.sh` – Called from both .bashrc and .zshrc as it contains commands common to both

- `aliases.sh` – All aliases go here (used with Bash and Zsh)

- `banner.sh` – Logon banner message (used with Bash and Zsh)

- `bashprompt.sh` – Bash prompt, like a poor mans p10k for Bash, disable with BASIC_PROMPT=1

- `env.sh` – Environmental vars and PATH settings, symlinked to `~/.bashenv` & `~/.zshenv`

Helpers

- `lib/backup.sh` – Git add, commit and push to GitHub

- `lib/install-zsh.sh` – Installs Zsh, and changes shell, tries to use sudo

- `lib/update.sh` – Pulls version from GitHub and overwrites local changes

## Usage

Clone into `~/dotfiles`

```bash

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/benc-uk/dotfiles.git

```

Install zsh if it's not already installed

```bash

cd ~

./dotfiles/lib/install-zsh.sh

```

Run install to set up the dotfiles symlinks etc

```bash

cd ~

./dotfiles/install.sh

```

Place any secrets, and local overrides into `~/.local.rc` **DO NOT add this file to the dotfiles repo**
