# davidfstr's dotfiles
These are my customizations for the command line on OS X.
You may find them useful if you use a similar technology stack:
* OS X
* bash
* git+gitx, svn, cvs
For more information about "dotfiles" in general, consider reading [holman's post on dotfiles](http://zachholman.com/2010/08/dotfiles-are-meant-to-be-forked/).
## Requirements
* OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later
* `bash` as your default shell
## Installation
* Clone this repository to `~/.dotfiles`.
* Ensure that your `~/.bash_profile` includes at the top:
```
# Execute .bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
* Ensure that your `~/.bashrc` includes at the top:
```
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
# Execute shared bashrc
source "$HOME/.dotfiles/.bashrc_shared"
```
## Design
* Simple.
* A single monolithic rc file.
* No special scripts that manage / install the dotfiles.
* Isolated.
* `.bashrc_shared` is separate from the main `.bashrc`.
* Installers often attempt to modify `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile`.
Such modifications should be kept separate from the shared rc files.
* Minimal.
* Only includes commands and aliases that I actually use on a regular basis.
* Default place to add new aliases and customizations is still the
machine-specific `.bashrc`.
* Customizations are migrated to the shared `.bashrc_shared` only
after it has proven useful enough to use on multiple machines.
* Portable.
* Customizations are written for the `bash` shell,
which seems to be the default shell almost everywhere.
