A shell configuration supporting bash, zsh, and fish.
I spend most of my time in Emacs on macOS. This configuration can work fine on its own, and it has a companion Emacs config.
Most scripts are written in bash because it is the lowest common denominator.
Included are configurations for some programs, such as:
- Bash
- Clojure
- Ctags
- Emacs (actually, the Emacs config lives in its own repo.)
- Git
- GnuPG
- Hammerspoon
- Karabiner Elements
- Python Pip
- Ruby Gem
- Tmux
- Zsh
Clone the repository and link files into the current user’s $HOME directory.
git clone https://github.com/mnewt/dotfiles
dotfiles/bin/install-dotfilesThe install-dotfiles script links
USAGE: install-dotfiles [-f] [-h] [-t] [-v] [ SOURCE_DIRECTORY ] Link dotfiles to $HOME. Directories listed in "child_dirs" have their children linked so as not to interfere with other things in those directories. SOURCE_DIRECTORY, if not specified, is /Users/mn/code/dotfiles. OPTIONS: -f Force overwrite of files or directories in $HOME -h Display this help message -t Test mode - don't make any changes -v Verbose - print each action
The install-dotfiles script performs the following functions:
- Look for an
install-dotfiles-configfile in the root of theSOURCE_DIRECTORY. Read variables from that file:child-dirs: A list of directories that will be created.ignore: A list of top level files/directories to be ignored (not linked).
- Create a soft link in
$HOMEto each file in the repo that (a) starts with a., and (b) isn’t listed inchild_dirs. - For each directory in
child_dirs, ensure the directory is created in$HOMEand then create links in that directory back to the corresponding files in the respective directory within the repo. - Remove any stale links in the destination locations.
In a previous iteration of this repo, I had a somewhat lengthy “bare repo” setup. This worked great, except for the fact that various LSP servers, notably bash-language-server, kept trying to index my entire home directory because it found a .git root there. This was pretty annoying and is the main reason I decided to switch back to a linking model.
There are set of update scripts in the bin directory to keep all the different software on a given system up to date.
The master update script runs all of these in succession. Each script is smart enough to figure out whether the appropriate software is installed on the current machine.
These are some of the things which can be updated:
