Inspired(forked) from https://github.com/holman/dotfiles.

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are ours. We found holmans dotfiles to be a great starting point for our own dotfiles. Scripts and components based approch made it greatly extensible and easy to understand. We have added our own scripts and components to make it more useful for our workflows. At the same time each individual can extend it further to suit their own needs and workflows without affecting others.

Literally we only need this repo to setup our systems from scratch and get back to work in no time.

We were a little tired of having long alias files and everything strewn about (which is extremely common on other dotfiles projects, too). This led to our project being much more topic-centric. We realized we could split a lot of things up into the main areas we used (NodeJS, React/Vue/Angular, Laravel, VS Code, Docker, git, system libraries, and so on), so we structured the project accordingly. Sharing our productivity hacks with all became a problem we wanted to address.

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.

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.

This repo is meant to work on Ubuntu 20.04 or above and Ubuntu flavored systems. It may work on other debian based systems (by excluding certain things) as well but we have not tested it on other systems.

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• _os: This folder contains scripts that are specific to the OS, things to be installed on fresh system globally. For example installing chrome, docker, vscode etc. Scripts under global requires sudo access and are required to run only once but can be run multiple times without any issues. Scripts under user are to be run for each user and can be run multiple times without any issues.
• 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 setup $PATH or similar.
• topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
• topic/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run script/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh.
• topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in *.symlink gets 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.
• topic/*install.ext.sh: Any file ending in install.ext.sh gets executed when you run script/install.ext. This is so you can keep all of those optional items your dotfiles but still install individual items or executed script/install.ext to install all extensions/extras.

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/kalkanisys/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

# Optionally to install basic development tools and applications
_os/global/install-all.sh
# OR
# _os/global/install-core.sh # To install minimal things

script/install
script/bootstrap

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.

dot is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run dot from time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find this script in bin/.

We want this to work for everyone; that means when you clone it down it should work for you even though you may not have rbenv installed, for example. That said, We do use this as our dotfiles, so there's a good chance We may break something if We forget to make a check for a dependency.

If you're brand-new to the project and run into any blockers, please open an issue on this repository and We'd love to get it fixed for you!
