Repository files navigation

dotfiles

This is my HOME. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Technique

My technique for managing this stuff is based on rtomayko's, which is outlined at https://github.com/rtomayko/dotfiles. Basically, my HOME is itself a git work tree, with repo data in ~/.git. To prevent git status from being overwhelmingly noisy, I put * in ~/.gitignore. This is the only difference between my approach and rtomayko's; with my approach, .gitignore is itself versioned, whereas his approach relies on the (unversioned) .git/info/exclude file.

Similarly, a number of my larger files (.zshrc, .emacs) source other stuff that is not tracked, which is where I can put site-specific or sensitive things that I do not want to be tracked in git.

Installation

To set up a home directory, run:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stpierre/dotfiles/master/bin/setup-home.sh | bash -ex

zsh loader

The .zshrc in particular is fairly complex, and I'm pretty proud of it, so it deserves special mention. My .zshrc just loads, in alphabetical order, every file in ~/.zsh.d/S*. (Basically, it imitates init scripts.) Several of the files in there load their own .local files, and S98_local also loads ~/.zsh.d/zshrc.$(hostname), ~/.zsh.d/zshrc.$(hostname -s), and both of those with any trailing digits stripped off. This makes it trivial to customize my zsh environment for different sites or hosts while still retaining the same core of zsh settings.
