Dotfiles

All the dots I need.

The included setup script creates symlinks from home directory to the files which are located in ~/dotfiles/.

The setup script will back up existing dotfiles into a ~/.dotfiles_old/ directory if there is already any dotfiles of the same name as the dotfile symlinks being created in the home directory.

The setup script will also clone the oh-my-zsh repository from GitHub and then checks to see if zsh is installed. If zsh is installed, and it is not already configured as the default shell, the setup script will execute a chsh -s $(which zsh).

TL;DR, the install script will:

1. Back up any existing dotfiles in the home directory to ~/.dotfiles_old/
2. Create symlinks to the dotfiles in ~/dotfiles/ in the home directory
3. Clone the oh-my-zsh repository from GitHub (to use with zsh)
4. Check to see if zsh is installed, if it isn't, try to install it.
5. If zsh is installed, run a chsh -s to set it as the default shell.

Installation

git clone git://github.com/qbarbosa/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./install.sh

Customization

If you need to add specific local aliases on your machine but know you won't want to commit them in this repo, you can create a .localrc file in your home directory. It will automatically be loaded by Zsh when starting a new tty.
