kaihowl does dotfiles and built upon holman's dotfiles

Fork

This was forked from holman's excellent base. I added some more vim config and brushed up the tmux configuration.

install (reminder)

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/kaihowl/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
# Actual sourcing/linking of dotfiles and installation
script/bootstrap
# Optionally, run the tests
script/test

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.

The main file you'll want to change right off the bat is zsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

guidelines

• No node.js dependencies.

Reasoning: Indiscriminate dependencies and not part of my day-to-day tech stack.

• CI run in at most 5 minutes.

Reasoning: I am impatient and like my pull requests small and focussed. A longer CI runtime is counter-productive.

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

what's inside

A lot of stuff. Seriously, a lot of stuff. Check them out in the file browser above and see what components may mesh up with you. Fork it, remove what you don't use, and build on what you do use.

components

There are a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
• topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to set up $PATH or similar.
• topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to set up autocomplete.
• topic/*.symlink: Any files ending in *.symlink get symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run script/bootstrap.

performance

Performance results on master branch.

I forked from holman's dotfiles, and he forked Ryan Bates' excellent dotfiles.
