Tom does dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.

My additions

• Git hooks

  • Git hooks are installed as part of the dot command
  • Any files named pre-commit.zsh or post-merge.zsh are automatically run during their respective hooks

• GPG and git secret

  • Can automatically generate a GPG key and upload it to the public key servers
  • Using addDotfilesUser will fetch the given key from the same public key servers and then add the users public key to this repository, automatically re-encrypting all of the secret files.

• VSCode

  • Will link ~/.vscode.conf.symlink to ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User keeping them in sync with this directory automatically
  • Will backup any installed extensions to the vscode/extensions file
  • On bootstrap, will install any vscode extensions in vscode/extensions

• hyper

  • Syncs the .hyper.js config file.

• git

  • Will automatically check the status of your ~/.dotfiles directory and inform you to push any changes
  • added a cdf command to automatically commit and push this directory

• zsh

  • Sets up antibody and pure.

• brewfile

  • Multiple things changed in here, also adds a couple of ofnts

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.

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 applications for Homebrew Cask to install: things like Chrome and 1Password and Adium and stuff. Might want to edit this file before running any initial setup.
• 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/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run script/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh.
• topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in *.symlink gets 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:

git clone https://github.com/inlustra/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 macOS 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/.

Forked entirely from holman/dotfiles and then repurposed.
