Dotfiles

Config files for the macOS + Zsh situation I have going on, and some scripts to get us vibing (and the addition of some other config for Arch Linux 🎉)

linkup

Running the linkup script will create symlinks from config files in this repo to where Zsh most desires them to be.

Before running, make sure the DOTFILES variable in both ./linkup and ./zsh/.zshenv is the path to this repo.

Also ensure NVM_DIR (./misc/nvm) and ZSH (./zsh/.zshenv) are the correct paths for your OS.

git clone https://github.com/lache-melvin/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./linkup

What goes down

• symlinks zsh config files in ./zsh to ~
  • .zshenv sets up environment vars
  • .zprofile sources ./paths on login (my iTerm is set to consider every new shell a login shell)
  • .zshrc initialises oh-my-zsh, sources ./aliases, ./functions and some of the files in ./misc for interactive shell sessions
• symlinks ./.gitconfig to ~/.gitconfig
• symlinks files in ./config to wherever they most prefer in ~/.config

You're going to need to install oh-my-zsh, vim-plug and nvm yourself.

npmig

cute idea @don-smith

Running the ./npmig script will install the global npm packages I'm currently using (I endeavour to keep this up to date)

When moving to a new node version with nvm

Install a new node version and reinstall packages from current version:

nvm install <new-version> --reinstall-packages-from=<current-version>

If you've already installed the new version:

nvm reinstall-packages <from-version>
