# Enrico Mischorrs dotfiles

## dotfiles

Various config files to set up a Linux or Mac OS X System.

## install

- `git clone git://github.com/emischorr/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles`
- `cd ~/.dotfiles`
- `rake install`

The install rake task will symlink the appropriate files in `.dotfiles` to your
home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within `~/.dotfiles`,
though.

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.

## components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

- **bin/**: Anything in `bin/` will get added to your `$PATH` and be made
available everywhere.
- **topic/\*.zsh**: Any files ending in `.zsh` get loaded into your
environment.
- **topic/\*.symlink**: Any files ending in `*.symlink` get symlinked into
your `$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 `rake install`.
- **topic/\*.completion.sh**: Any files ending in `completion.sh` get loaded
last so that they get loaded after we set up zsh autocomplete functions.

I forked [Zach Holmans](http://github.com/holman)'
[dotfiles](http://github.com/holman/dotfiles) as a solid base to work on my own changes.
