This repository includes all of my custom dotfiles. They should be cloned to
your home directory so that the path is ~/.dotfiles/
. The included setup
script creates symlinks from your home directory to the files which are located
in ~/.dotfiles/
.
I also prefer zsh
as my shell of choice. As such, the setup script will also
clone the oh-my-zsh
repository from GitHub. It 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)
. This
changes the default shell to zsh, and takes effect as soon as a new zsh is
spawned or on next login.
So, to recap, the install script will:
- Create symlinks to the dotfiles in
~/.dotfiles/
in your home directory - Clone the
oh-my-zsh
repository from GitHub (for use withzsh
) - Check to see if
zsh
is installed, if it isn't, try to install it. - If zsh is installed, run a
chsh -s
to set it as the default shell.
