My dotfiles and scripts
These configurations and scripts are ultimately optimized for Zsh on Archlinux and support combinations of Bash or Zsh with Archlinux and Debian (or its derivatives: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.).
Installing dotfiles repository
This dotfiles should be installed in a subdirectory of $HOME called
dotfiles. The install script is then used to create the correct
symlinks pointing to the dotfiles and shell scripts.
Clone the git repository in ~/dotfiles:
cd ~
git clone git://github.com/babab/dotfiles.gitDefault install - preserving existing configuration
Change to the created directory and run install.sh from that directory:
cd ~/dotfiles
./install.sh # shows help information
./install.sh --confirm # install filesBy default, the install script will not create symlinks for any files/directories that already exist.
Complete install
If you don't care about any existing dotfiles and scripts (e.g.: ~/bin/, ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc) you can install everything. This makes sure there are no clashes with existing configurations and is recommended. Optionally create a (temporary) new user account to check it out and test it. The following command will remove existing dotfiles:
cd ~/dotfiles
./install.sh --forceContents
