Dotfiles

A collection of config files that I use.

Installation

Installing will overwrite anything in the way. Run make -n first. If you are happy with that output, you can test the dotfile environment with

TMP=$(mktemp -d -t HOME); HOME=$TMP make install && ls -al $TMP && unset TMP

Install common, cross-platform dotfiles to $HOME with

make install

Install individual dotfiles with, e.g.

make install-git

or

make install-vim-config

and so forth.

Look at the Makefile to see which dotfiles are installed by default and which require running a separate task. For example, tarsnap configs only really apply to my local machine, so they are not installed by default.

Use make list to see a list of all targets, including the test targets and any auxiliary helper targets. More on test targets follows.

Tests

There is a test target in the Makefile. Not everything is tested, but I've attempted to verify the files that can be tested. If you know of a way to verify or test other dotfiles, please open an issue or let me know.

• All zsh and bash config files and scripts are parsed by their respective shells. This includes all the zsh installation script helpers.

You need bash and zsh installed to check the syntax of some installation files. Presumably, if you are using these dotfiles, you have at least those two shells installed.
