dotfiles

Dotfiles for configuring macOS or Linux with ZSH and Homebrew.

Requirements

• macOS or Linux
• ZSH (on macOS, the install script will install ZSH via Homebrew)
• Homebrew (on macOS, the install script will install Homebrew)

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/jacobwgillespie/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ ./setup

This will install all required dotfiles in your home directory as symlinks. Everything is then configured via modifying files in ~/.dotfiles.

Software

The Brewfile installs all of the software and applications I have installed on my Mac, including Homebrew formulae, Homebrew casks, and Mac App Store applications.

Structure

The repository is organized as follows:

• setup - setup script that can be used to install or update the dotfiles on your system
• Brewfile - a list of software to install via Homebrew (see brew bundle and brew bundle cleanup)
• bin/* - any executable scripts in this directory are added to your $PATH
• config/*.zsh - configuration files for ZSH, they are all sourced automatically into any new shell
• functions/* - zsh functions and autocomplete completion definitions
• symlinks/* - any files ending in *.symlink get symlinked by the ./setup script into your home directory with the suffix removed (e.g. gitignore.symlink becomes ~/.gitignore)
