dotfiles

Shell bootstrap, aliases, git config, and a few helper scripts.

Setup

Clone the repo anywhere, then source bootstrap.sh from your shell startup file:

source /absolute/path/to/dotfiles/bootstrap.sh

Set up Git with the helper script:

/absolute/path/to/dotfiles/bin/setup-git

That writes:

[include]
    path = /absolute/path/to/dotfiles/gitconfig

If you already maintain ~/.gitconfig, keep your extra sections there and only include the shared file from this repo. See gitconfig.home.example for the shape.

Layout

• bootstrap.sh: entrypoint, resolves the repo path dynamically.
• aliases/: tracked shell aliases and functions.
• scripts/: small project helpers.
• work.sh: optional untracked work-specific commands.
• local.sh: optional untracked machine-specific commands.
• bin/setup-git: configures Git include and global ignore paths for the current repo location.

Use the example files as a starting point:

cp /absolute/path/to/dotfiles/work.example.sh /absolute/path/to/dotfiles/work.sh
cp /absolute/path/to/dotfiles/local.example.sh /absolute/path/to/dotfiles/local.sh

Validation

Run:

/absolute/path/to/dotfiles/bin/check
