A dotfiles repo which includes install scripts for setting up the environment from a fresh operating system install. This dotfiles repo can be used for Linux and MacOS machines; I actively use this repo on my MacbookPro and Linux desktop machine, which I use interchangeably.

Currently only Debian Linux is supported.

Z shell (Zsh) is installed on Linux and assumed to be there on MacOS.

XDG Base Directory Specification is followed where possible.

• jamygolden-dotfiles/.config/* is symlinked to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/*.
• .zshenv is symlinked to $HOME/.zshenv. It is the first zsh file to be sourced in the home directory, so it's required to be loaded there and set the ZSHDOTDIR environment variable for the other zsh scripts.
• Put your .zprofile secrets in jamygolden-dotfiles/secrets/.z_secrets and .zshrc secrets in jamygolden-dotfiles/secrets/.zsh_secrets

• jamygolden-dotfiles/.config/zsh/.zprofile is symlinked to $HOME/.profile because Intellij Idea doesn't use ZSH (even when specified) and it's important for the secrets to be sourced for Intellij Idea.

Dotfiles are installed to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME where possible.

If bash is installed by default, these scripts will run correctly and will set up Zsh as the default shell.

The installation will detect what OS you are using and will setup accordingly.

$ ./install_all.sh # Setups up Linux machine
$ ./install_symlinks.sh # Symlink dotfiles
$ ./install_post.sh # Postinstall

.zsh_* implies the file will only be run when .zshrc is run, while .z_* implies the file will be run in .z_profile. Read more about the Zsh startup/shutdown files.

After everything is installed, run ./z_tests in your shell to test your zsh setup to ensure it's running correctly.
