.dotfiles for my OSX and Linux setup

Console Dotfiles

This is an attempt to document my dotfiles and each directory/file purpose. The configuration should be similar between bash and zsh shells. I use zsh by default.

Installing

The dotfiles serves both Linux and Mac hosts. I have different methods of setting each up.

Mac

On Mac, the process to setup is:

# Checkout the files
git clone https://github.com/duboc/dubodots $HOME/.dotfiles
pushd $HOME/.dotfiles

# Run setup_mac.sh
./setup_mac.sh
popd

Now close the current terminal and reopen.

Linux

On Linux, the process to setup is:

On Mac, the process to setup is:

# Checkout the files
git clone https://github.com/duboc/dubodots $HOME/.dotfiles
pushd $HOME/.dotfiles

# Run setup_mac.sh
./setup_linux.sh
popd

Now close the current terminal and reopen.

Shell Configuration

Zsh

• P10K

Bash

File/Dir Structure

The dotfiles is structured as:

Directories

• ./bin - These are some utility scripts or platform specific binaries. These are added to the $PATH
• ./completion - Holds custom command completion scripts for bash and zsh
• ./fonts - Console monospaced fonts. Some have been patched with nerdfonts to have special characters. Needs to be installed manually depending on the platform.
• ./rc - This dir holds application config files and directories that are linked as .filerc in the user home dir. They are automatically linked by the setup_links.sh script and their link will have the . prepended.
• ./rc/iterm2 - iTerm2 utilities installed by the "Install Shell Integration" menu option
• ./shellconfig - This directory has the shell config variables for both bash and zsh
