.dotfiles

My dotfiles, circa 2017.

The theme I'm using for my editor and terminal is the Zenburn color scheme. I typically pair that with Inconsolata as my main programming font.

Install the following manually

• macOS Package Manager: Homebrew
• Editor: Sublime Text 3 (with Package Control)
• Terminal: Alacritty
• Shell: zsh chsh -s $(which zsh)
• Shell Plugin Manager: oh-my-zsh
• Shell Navigation: z
• Fuzzy File Search: fzf
• ls Replacement: Exa

Loading dotfiles into system

• Run ./load.sh
  • This will backup any existing dotfiles into a new directory ~/.dotfiles.backup/<UTC epoch>

Updating dotfiles

• Run ./read.sh in the repository's directory to copy all of the system's settings.

Restoring a backup

• Run ./restore.sh to interactively restore a file from ~/.dotfiles.backup/<UTC epoch>/.
  • Lists every backed-up file across all snapshots; type a substring to filter (uses fzf if installed, otherwise a numbered menu).
  • Pick a file to restore it to its original location. The current version is backed up first, so the restore is reversible.
  • Use --dry-run to preview without writing.
