README
**NOTE:** This repository is no longer updated. I have moved to a much simpler, faster dotfile system at [venables/dotfiles](https://github.com/venables/dotfiles)
# dotfiles
Forked from [holman](https://github.com/holman/dotfiles). But I already had a dotfiles repo, so I manually did it instead of a github fork.
## topical
Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your
forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a `java` directory and put
files in there. Anything with an extension of `.zsh` will get automatically
included into your shell. Anything with an extension of `.symlink` will get
symlinked without extension into `$HOME` when you run `script/bootstrap`.
## what's inside
A lot of stuff. Seriously, a lot of stuff. Check them out in the file browser
above and see what components may mesh up with you.
[Fork it](https://github.com/holman/dotfiles/fork), remove what you don't
use, and build on what you do use.
## components
There's a few special files in the hierarchy.
- **bin/**: Anything in `bin/` will get added to your `$PATH` and be made
available everywhere.
- **Brewfile**: This is a list of stuff for homebrew to install.
- **topic/\*.zsh**: Any files ending in `.zsh` get loaded into your
environment.
- **topic/path.zsh**: Any file named `path.zsh` is loaded first and is
expected to setup `$PATH` or similar.
- **topic/completion.zsh**: Any file named `completion.zsh` is loaded
last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
- **topic/\*.symlink**: Any files ending in `*.symlink` get symlinked into
your `$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`.
## install
Run this:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/holman/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 `zsh/zshrc.symlink`,
which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.
`dot` is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane OS X
defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run `dot` from
time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find
this script in `bin/`.
