Eliza's Dotfiles

Eliza Weisman's personal dotfiles, managed using Thoughtbot's rcm tool.

Note on Support

My configurations are biased towards macOS, Atom, and Hyper; there's minimal support for other OSes and tools currently. Lots of support for Rust, Haskell, and Scala, my languages of choice. Most packages are installed using Homebrew, so if your system uses another package manager, you may not get everything you need to make all my configurations work right off the bat.

Note on Fonts

My terminals and text editors are typeset using Iosevka, a slender monospace sans-serif and slab-serif typeface designed for code. If you install using the Brewfile in this repository, Iosevka (and its Nerd Fonts patched version) will be installed automagically, along with a number of other open-source fonts that I like.

While you can, of course, change the default editor and terminal fonts to whatever font you prefer, do note that my zsh prompt is currently configured to use a Nerd Fonts patched font. If you use a non-patched font, some glyphs may not show up as expected.

Install

Clone this repo:

$ git clone git://github.com/hawkw/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

Install rcm:

$ brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
$ brew install rcm

Install the dotfiles:

$ env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

After the initial installation, you can run rcup without the one-time variable RCRC being set (rcup will symlink the repo's rcrc to ~/.rcrc for future runs of rcup). See example.

This command will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. Setting the RCRC environment variable tells rcup to use standard configuration options:

• Exclude the README.md and LICENSE files, which are part of the dotfiles repository but do not need to be symlinked in.
• Give precedence to personal overrides which by default are placed in ~/dotfiles-local

You can safely run rcup multiple times to update:

rcup

You should run rcup after pulling a new version of the repository to symlink any new files in the repository.
