Ryan Bates Dot Files

These are config files to set up Mac OS X command line the way I like it using Zsh.

For an older version that uses Oh My Zsh, check out this branch.

Run the bin/install command to copy files over. It will prompt you before replacing if the files already exist.

git clone git@github.com/ryanb/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./bin/install

After installing, open a new terminal window to see the effects.

Feel free to customize the .zshrc file to match your preference.

I normally place all of my coding projects in ~/code, so this directory can easily be accessed (and tab completed) with the "c" command.

c railsca<tab>

There is also an "h" command which behaves similar, but acts on the home path.

h doc<tab>

If you're using git, you'll notice the current branch name shows up in the prompt while in a git repository.

To remove the dotfile configs, run the following commands. Be certain to double check the contents of the files before removing so you don't lose custom settings.

unlink ~/.bin
unlink ~/.gitignore
unlink ~/.gitconfig
unlink ~/.gemrc
unlink ~/.gvimrc
unlink ~/.irbrc
unlink ~/.vim
unlink ~/.vimrc
rm ~/.zshrc # careful here
rm -rf ~/.dotfiles

Then open a new terminal window to see the effects.
