# smashwilson's dotfiles
## dotfiles
Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.
## install
Run this:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/smashwilson/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/setup
```
This will symlink the appropriate files in `.dotfiles` to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within `~/.dotfiles`.
## components
There's a few special files in the hierarchy.
- **bin/**: Anything in `bin/` will get added to your `$PATH` and be made
available everywhere.
- **topic/\*.bash**: Any files ending in `.bash` get loaded into your
environment.
- **topic/path.bash**: Any file named `path.bash` is loaded first and is
expected to setup `$PATH` or similar.
- **topic/completion.bash**: Any file named `completion.bash` is loaded
last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
- **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 `script/bootstrap`.
## thanks
_Because thanks obeys the transitive property:_
This started as a fork of [@holman's](https://github.com/holman/dotfiles)
dotfiles. I've kept the structure, but changed everything *back* to `bash`
from `zsh`, and switched to using Ansible for the installation because
Ansible is rad.
Holman forked [Ryan Bates](http://github.com/ryanb)' excellent
[dotfiles](http://github.com/ryanb/dotfiles) for a couple years before the
weight of his changes and tweaks inspired him 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.
