dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

WARNING: I may, without prior notice, forcefully overwrite the history of this repo.

Using git to manage dotfiles in the home directory

This repo has a simple script to set up your home directory as a git repo. It will not overwrite existing files. Change it as needed: .dotfile_misc/bin/dotfiles-bootstrap.sh

This repo does not track regular shell rc files. For example, it ignores .zshrc, .bashrc, .profile, and cousins. Instead, it tracks files like .zshrc_global.sh. The dotfiles-bootstrap.sh script above causes files like .zshrc to source the corresponding global overrides like the .zshrc_global.sh file.

Thus local overrides or fallbacks can easily be added in the regular rc files. This is useful since some tool installations modify the default shell rc files.
