Dotfiles for ZSH

Installation

git clone https://github.com/vnctptr/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

source ./bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh

Saving .zshrc

The bootstrapper will add the following line to your .zshrc (if not already present):

source $HOME/.dotfilesrc

It will also store a copy of your .zshrc in the repository. It will NOT copy .zsrhc from the repository to your home folder.

Customization

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.
