A curated list of dotfiles resources.

Quick Overview

Holman/dotfiles is a comprehensive collection of configuration files (dotfiles) and scripts for setting up and customizing a macOS development environment. It includes configurations for various tools, applications, and system settings, aimed at streamlining the setup process and enhancing productivity for developers.

Pros

  • Extensive coverage of common developer tools and applications
  • Well-organized structure with topic-based folders for easy navigation
  • Includes a bootstrap script for automated setup and installation
  • Customizable and easily extendable to fit personal preferences

Cons

  • Primarily focused on macOS, limiting its usefulness for other operating systems
  • May include configurations for tools that not all users need or want
  • Requires some familiarity with command-line tools and dotfiles concepts
  • Potential for conflicts with existing configurations if not carefully implemented

Getting Started

To get started with holman/dotfiles:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/holman/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

  2. Navigate to the dotfiles directory:

    cd ~/.dotfiles

  3. Run the bootstrap script:

    script/bootstrap

  4. Review and customize the configurations in the topic folders as needed.

  5. Restart your terminal or run source ~/.zshrc to apply the changes.

Note: It's recommended to review the configurations and remove or modify any settings that conflict with your existing setup or preferences before running the bootstrap script.

💻 macOS / Ubuntu dotfiles

Pros of alrra/dotfiles

  • More comprehensive and detailed documentation
  • Includes support for multiple operating systems (macOS, Ubuntu, CentOS)
  • Offers a wider range of configuration files and tools

Cons of alrra/dotfiles

  • Less modular structure compared to holman/dotfiles
  • May be overwhelming for beginners due to its extensive nature
  • Requires more manual setup and customization

Code Comparison

holman/dotfiles:

# Load all the files in the zsh directory
for file in ~/.dotfiles/**/*.zsh; do
  source "$file"
done

alrra/dotfiles:

declare -r DOTFILES_DIR_PATH="$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")"

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

. "$DOTFILES_DIR_PATH/src/os/utils.sh"

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

main() {
    # Load utils
    . "$DOTFILES_DIR_PATH/src/os/utils.sh"

The code snippets show different approaches to loading configuration files. holman/dotfiles uses a simple loop to source all .zsh files, while alrra/dotfiles employs a more structured approach with separate utility functions and a main() function for initialization.

README

holman does dotfiles

Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.

I was a little tired of having long alias files and everything strewn about (which is extremely common on other dotfiles projects, too). That led to this project being much more topic-centric. I realized I could split a lot of things up into the main areas I used (Ruby, git, system libraries, and so on), so I structured the project accordingly.

If you're interested in the philosophy behind why projects like these are awesome, you might want to read my post on the subject.

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

what's inside

A lot of stuff. Seriously, a lot of stuff. Check them out in the file browser above and see what components may mesh up with you. Fork it, remove what you don't use, and build on what you do use.

components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

  • bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
  • topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
  • topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
  • topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
  • topic/install.sh: Any file named install.sh is executed when you run script/install. To avoid being loaded automatically, its extension is .sh, not .zsh.
  • topic/*.symlink: Any file ending in *.symlink gets symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run script/bootstrap.

install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/holman/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.

The main file you'll want to change right off the bat is zsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

dot is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane macOS defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run dot from time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find this script in bin/.

bugs

I want this to work for everyone; that means when you clone it down it should work for you even though you may not have rbenv installed, for example. That said, I do use this as my dotfiles, so there's a good chance I may break something if I forget to make a check for a dependency.

If you're brand-new to the project and run into any blockers, please open an issue on this repository and I'd love to get it fixed for you!

thanks

I forked Ryan Bates' excellent dotfiles for a couple years before the weight of my changes and tweaks inspired me to finally roll my own. But Ryan's dotfiles were an easy way to get into bash customization, and then to jump ship to zsh a bit later. A decent amount of the code in these dotfiles stem or are inspired from Ryan's original project.
