Joe's dotfiles.

Like @paul_irish says, mathias's readme is where to start. I'm like four places removed and I'm sure some unwise decisions have been made along the way. The biggest changes I've made have been to get rid of Vim related stuff (blech) and use zsh instead of bash.

I also customize my prompt in a way that's based heavily on this Nettuts+ article

The rest of this I'm shamelessly copying from Paul's readme. Why? The doctor says I'm lazy.

private config

Toss it into a file called .extra which you do not commit to this repo and just keep in your ~/

I do something nice with my PATH there:

# PATH like a bawss
PATH=/opt/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/bin
PATH=$PATH:/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/sbin
# ...

export PATH

Syntax highlighting

…is really important. even for these files.
