Ken Powers' Dotfiles

These are my configuration files. Take a look at how I configure my shell and feel free to use ideas or suggest improvements.

Installation

1. Clone this repository to $HOME/.dotfiles.
2. Follow the instructions in the etc directory to set up system settings.
3. Run ./install.sh.
4. Optionally follow the instructions in ./vendor/packages to install packages I use on a regular basis.

Structure

Everything in home is linked to $HOME/.$file. Old links are overridden / updated and dead links are deleted. lib contains any files which should not necessarily be linked to in $HOME. etc contains configuration miscellaneous tools. vendor contains subtrees for external repositories.

Other Tips

tmux

• In tmux press C-a C-s to save your tmux session
• In tmux press C-a C-r to restore your tmux session

Xcode

If you need to accept the xcode license at any point for some reason:

sudo xcodebuild -license

Not Ken?

If your name is not Ken Powers you will probably want to edit ./home/gitconfig to have your information. You can do this on your own branch to make pulling upstream changes easier.

Private Environment Variables

You can create a file at home/env.local.zsh which will be sourced by home/zshenv. *.local.zsh is in this repository's .gitignore file so you don't have to worry about sensitive data being committed to the repository.
