dotfiles

Scripts to install and update a development environment.

install

To install these dotfiles on a new environment:

1. Install XCode Command Line Tools xcode-select --install

2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/rowan/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

3. Then, run install: cd ~/.dotfiles source scripts/install.zsh

This:

• Creates a $DOTFILES environment variable
• Configures terminal (see: /scripts/terminal.zsh)
• Installs homebrew (see: /scripts/homebrew.zsh)

The terminal configuration:

• Adds bin/ files to $PATH (see: /apps/system/path.zsh)
• Symlinks app/*.symlink files to $HOME
• Runs app/**/*.zsh scripts in order (see /apps/termainal/zshrc.symlink for details):
  • First, runs app/**/path.zsh scripts (to setup $PATH or similar)
  • Then, runs all other app/**/*.zsh scripts (excluding install.zsh or completion.zsh)
  • Finally, runs app/**/completion.zsh scripts (to setup autocompletes)

4. Restart terminal

This should now be running with new theme and with modified path, prompt etc.

Note: initially several of the files that are run when the terminal is started will fail, as dependencies such as yarn and rbenv have not been installed yet.

update

To update an existing environment:

Use the dot command:

dot

This uses the update script:

scripts/update.zsh

This:

• Sets macOS defaults
• Runs homebrew (including Mac App Store usung mas)
• Runs app/**/install.zsh scripts
• Updates macOS
