Config files for zsh, bash, git, completions etc. to set up a system the way I like it. ~/.jogendra

https://jogendra.github.io/i-do-dotfiles

NOTE: The dotfiles is configured for MacOS machine. Most of the things expected to work on all machines running unix based operating systems.

I went through many dotfiles before deciding structure of this dotfiles, I foundholman way the best, Thanks toholman dotfiles. What he used is calledTopical organization which is organizing the different parts of dotfiles in directories, each entitled to a specific subject. By topical organization, all AppleScripts go inside theAppleScript/ directory, git settings are in agit/ directory, and so on. Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "vscode" — you can simply add a vscode directory and put files in there.

There's a few special files in the hierarchy:

• bin/: Anything inbin/ will get added to your$PATH and be made available everywhere.
• topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in.zsh get loaded into your environment.
• topic/path.zsh: Any file namedpath.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup$PATH or similar.
• topic/completion.zsh: Any file namedcompletion.zsh is loadedlast and is expected to setup autocomplete.
• topic/install.sh: Any file namedinstall.sh is executed when you runinstallers/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 runinstallers/bootstrap.

Run:

git clone https://github.com/jogendra/dotfiles.git~/.dotfilescd~/.dotfilesinstallers/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 iszsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

I will soon be writing detailed blog post on how my iTerm is customized.
