My custom dotfiles

dotfiles

These are my personal dotfiles, containing some crucial scripts, functions and aliases.

Structure

All machines are structured as follows, inside your home dir:

.
├── .config # basic config folder most programs use, should be there already
├── projects # where you will clone every project
├── softwares # software binaries and scripts (not cloned)
└── downloads # where all software will be configured to put downloads (browsers, torrent, etc)

Setup

Setup is really easy:

• Symlink configuration files for each of the managed configs:

    ./config/setup.sh

• Link scripts folder inside your softwares folder:

    mkdir $HOME/softwares
    ln -s $HOME/projects/dotfiles/scripts $HOME/softwares/scripts

• Source functions.sh in your .bashrc; it should look like this:

   # If not running interactively, don't do anything
   [[ $- != *i* ]] && return

   source "$HOME/projects/dotfiles/functions.sh"

   # Env specific custom stuff
   # ...

Note: if you are using zsh, don't forget to make sure your ~/.zshrc is sourcing your bashrc:

  source ~/.bashrc

• Use the script to install the custom fonts:

    cd ./fonts
    ./install.sh
    # must be run from within fonts folder (TODO fix this!)

• Setup git only once in your life (changes are persistent):

    ./git-setup.sh # open this file first to change your email and name!

• Finally, link the .vimrc file:

    ln -s $HOME/projects/dotfiles/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

After that, you must open vim once (v), and see a lot of erros; just run :PlugInstall once to do everything. Next run should give you no errors.
