Dotfiles are configuration and personalization files for various applications in use on computer systems. These are mine.

Clone this repository locally, and then install with rake.

git clone https://github.com/cobyism/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake

There are some other more specific rake commands you can use too.

rake install            # (default) Dotfiles: battle-stations! Prompt for orders if any already exist
rake install:backup     # Dotfiles: battle-stations! Backup any files that are already in place
rake install:overwrite  # Dotfiles: battle-stations! Overwrite any files that are already in place
rake install:skip       # Dotfiles: battle-stations! Skip any files that are already in place
rake uninstall          # Dotfiles: stand down!

The way this project works is simple.

• Anything named in the form of <example>.symlink will be symlinked into ~/.<example> when you run rake. This applies to both files (e.g. zsh/zshrc.symlink is symlinked to ~/.zshrc) and folders (e.g. atom/atom.symlink is symlinked to ~/.atom).

• Any files named in the form <example>.zsh get loaded into your environment when your shell starts.

I’d ❤️ to receive contributions to this project. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a typo, or if you’re proposing an overhaul of the entire project—I’ll gladly take a look at your changes. Fork at will! 😀.

MIT. Have at it! 😀

There’s a very high probability that everything contained in this repo was blatantly stolen from one of the following places:

• Ryan Bates' dotfiles
• Zach Holman's dotfiles
• Ryan Tomayko's dotfiles
