dotfiles

My dotfiles >> your dotfiles

I jumped the shark (er..the boat) and switched to zsh. While poking around I found holman's dotfiles and decided to blatantly copy a lot of his stuff.

Urgent TODOs

• Yay none right now.

Bootstrap

cd ~/Projects
git clone --recursive https://github.com/rtimmons/dotfiles.git
rake update
rake install

(Can actually be cloned anywhere)

Local Configs

Be sure to see zsh/zshrc.symlink for details on how to set configuration that takes effect before/after configs in this project are executed.

.0zhrc?

tl;dr:

Everything ending in .0zshrc is sourced before everything ending in .zshrc

Everything in this repo that ends in .zshrc is sourced upon startup. (Check out zsh/zshrc.symlink.) Problem is there are bootstrap issues. Some things depend on other things. Apparently I can't pass a custom comparator into zsh's globbing, so it's impossible to, say, run everything in asciibetical order based on basename of the file. If it were, you could just name your files 000-prompt.zshrc or whatever.
