# Nick Plekhanov's Dotfiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a collection of dotfiles and scripts I use for customizing OS X to my liking and setting up the software development tools I use on a day-to-day basis. They should be cloned to your home directory so that the path is `~/dotfiles/`. The included setup script creates symlinks from your home directory to the files which are located in `~/dotfiles/`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The setup script is smart enough to back up your existing dotfiles into a `~/dotfiles_old/` directory if you already have any dotfiles of the same name as the dotfile symlinks being created in your home directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also prefer `zsh` as my shell of choice. As such, the setup script will also clone the `oh-my-zsh` repository from my GitHub. It then checks to see if `zsh` is installed. If `zsh` is installed, and it is not already configured as the default shell, the setup script will execute a `chsh -s $(which zsh)` command. This changes the default shell to zsh, and takes effect as soon as a new zsh is spawned or on next login.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, to recap, the install script will:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- back up any existing dotfiles in your home directory to `~/dotfiles_old/`
|
||
|
|
- create symlinks to the dotfiles in `~/dotfiles/` in your home directory
|
||
|
|
- clone the `oh-my-zsh` repository from my GitHub (for use with `zsh`)
|
||
|
|
- check to see if `zsh` is installed, if it isn't, try to install it
|
||
|
|
- if zsh is installed, run a `chsh -s` to set it as the default shell
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/nicksp/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~/dotfiles
|
||
|
|
$ chmod +x setup.sh
|
||
|
|
$ ./setup.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Remotely install using curl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can install this into `~/.dotfiles` remotely without Git using curl:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/nicksp/dotfiles/master/remote-setup.sh`"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or, using wget:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
sh -c "`wget -O - --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicksp/dotfiles/master/remote-setup.sh`"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Customize
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Local Settings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The dotfiles can be easily extended to suit additional local
|
||
|
|
requirements by using the following files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### `~/.zsh.local`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the `~/.zsh.local` file exists, it will be automatically sourced
|
||
|
|
after all the other [shell related files](shell), thus, allowing its
|
||
|
|
content to add to or overwrite the existing aliases, settings, PATH,
|
||
|
|
etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### `~/.gitconfig.local`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the `~/.gitconfig.local` file exists, it will be automatically
|
||
|
|
included after the configurations from [`~/.gitconfig`](git/gitconfig), thus, allowing
|
||
|
|
its content to overwrite or add to the existing `git` configurations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** Use `~/.gitconfig.local` to store sensitive information such
|
||
|
|
as the `git` user credentials, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
[user]
|
||
|
|
name = Nick Plekhanov
|
||
|
|
email = nick@example.com
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## OS X Defaults
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My favorite part of this repo is the [set-defaults](osx/set-defaults.sh) script for OS X.
