This is a collection of dotfiles and scripts I use for customizing my terminal environment, where I spend most of my time when working. The files here are currently used for customizing the following:
- Bash
- Vim
- Tmux
- Git
- bin/
- Zsh
The repository should be cloned into your home directory (copy/pasting the installation commands will do this for you). Dotfiles you wish to keep track of should be located in the .dotfiles/dotfiles directory. They will need to have a ".symlink" extention that the bootstrap.sh script will use to symlink dotfiles you wish to track in your home directory.
The bootstrap.sh script will do all of the setup, so that installation on a new machine is as streamlined as possible. It is set up to be modular, so adding a new dotfile to your collection will only involve adding the .symlink file to the repository. If additional setup needs to be done, an additional function call in bootstrap.sh will need to be added.
git clone https://github.com/folksgl/.dotfiles.git ~/
~/.dotfiles/bootstrap.shAll your customizations and preferences in one place. Add any "dotfile" you want to take with you to the dotfiles directory with a '.symlink' extension and it will be automatically added when you run the bootstrap.sh script. Check out the ones already there for examples.
Take your themes with you wherever you go! If you have a specific vim theme you like to use or perhaps a custom theme you put together yourself, add it to the vim_themes directory and you'll be able to use your themes no matter where you are.
Written a script you wish you had saved so you could use it on another system? Add useful scripts to the bin directory and they'll be available on any system you clone your dotfiles to. The bin directory even gets added to your PATH when the bootstrap.sh script is run. No additional setup needed!
