What is this?
These are Matthew McCullough's shell configuration dotfiles. The primary goal is to increase CLI productivity on Mac OSX, though many scripts run just fine on any POSIX implementation.
Focus
The focus is on Zshell support, but there are plenty of cross-platform scripts in here. There are a few bash-specific ones.
Inspirations
The contents of this repo have been partly invented from scratch, partly inspired by open source projects, and partly refactored from snippets from colleagues and friends. Many are attributed.
Acquiring This Repo
This project contains submodules. It is suggested that you clone this into your home directory.
cd ~
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/matthewmccullough/dotfiles .dotfiles
Setup
There is a set up script that establishes the symlinks in your home directory. Run this once.
- For ZShell ~/.dotfiles/_setupdotfiles.zsh
- For Bash (needs some fixes) ~/.dotfiles/_setupdotfiles.bsh
NOTE: Some personal configuration of Matthew's will remain after setup. These dotfiles are intended for your inspiration, forking, and for you to tweak to your specific needs.
Non-automated, non-captured config
Reminder-to-self: Some additional personalization lives in the ~/.config/ directory. Specifically, the ~/.config/gh/config.yml file for gh. It is not yet in scope for capture or copy, but some uers have shared their configuration in a Gist.
