This file contains the source to all my dotfiles, which is then generated into distinct files in my home directory via org-babel. Inspiration for this setup comes primarily from this discussion along with some help from writequit.
Zsh is the MacOS primary shell. There are four startup files to consider. They are, in order of startup read: .zshenv → .zprofile → .zshrc → .zlogin
For discusison of setup see:
- https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/487889/200156 (a nice overview of each file)
- https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/432227/291821 (discussion of idiosyncratic behavior of macos)
- https://ss64.com/osx/syntax-profile.html
The most important thing is that you don’t want things in .zshenv
or .zprofile
that are really needed only for interactive shells. And you don’t want PATH
to be overriden.
This file is always sourced, so it should set environment variables which need to be updated frequently. PATH (or its associated counterpart path) is a good example because you probably don’t want to restart your whole session to make it update. By setting it in that file, reopening a terminal emulator will start a new Zsh instance with the PATH value updated.
But be aware that this file is read even when Zsh is launched to run a single command (with the -c option), even by another tool like make. You should be very careful to not modify the default behavior of standard commands because it may break some tools (by setting aliases for example).
# Set architecture flags
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch arm64"
# Set XDG config path
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config
# set shell
export SHELL=/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
# User Path
# Ensure user-installed binaries take precedence
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin:/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:/opt/homebrew/opt/libtool/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin:$HOME/.fzf/bin:$HOME/.cabal/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS:/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
I use .zprofile
for commands and variables which should be set once or which don’t need to be updated frequently:
- environment variables to configure tools (flags for compilation, data folder location, etc.)
- configuration which execute commands (like SCONSFLAGS=”–jobs=$(( $(nproc) - 1 ))”) as it may take some time to execute.
If you modify this file, you can apply the configuration updates by running a login shell:
exec zsh --login
Settings are below.
