These are the base dotfiles that I start with when I set up a new environment. For more specific local needs I use the *.local files described in the Local Settings section.

• 🔧 Setup
• 💄 Customize
  • 🔀 Forks
  • 🌐 Local Settings
    • 🐚 ~/.bash.local
    • 🔁 ~/.gitconfig.local
    • ⌨️ ~/.vimrc.local
• ↕️ Update
• 📸 Screenshots
  • 🔁 Git
  • ⌨️ tmux & Vim
• 📄 License

To set up the dotfiles run the appropriate snippet in the terminal:

(⚠️ DO NOT run the setup snippet if you do not fully understand what it does. Seriously, DON'T!)

That's it! ✨

The setup process will:

• Download the dotfiles on your computer (by default it will suggest ~/projects/dotfiles).
• Create some additional directories.
• Symlink the git, shell, and vim files.
• Install applications / command-line tools for macOS / Ubuntu.
• Set custom macOS / Ubuntu preferences.
• Install vim plugins.

Setup process in action:

macOS	Ubuntu

The dotfiles can be easily extended to suit additional local requirements by using the following files:

The ~/.bash.local file will be automatically sourced after all the other bash related files, thus, allowing its content to add to or overwrite the existing aliases, settings, PATH, etc.

Here is a very simple example of a ~/.bash.local file:

#!/bin/bash

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

# Set local aliases.

alias g="git"

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

# Set PATH additions.

PATH="$PATH:$HOME/projects/dotfiles/src/bin"

export PATH

The ~/.gitconfig.local file will be automatically included after the configurations from ~/.gitconfig, thus, allowing its content to overwrite or add to the existing Git configurations.

Note: Use ~/.gitconfig.local to store sensitive information such as the Git user credentials, e.g.:

[commit]

    # Sign commits using GPG.
    # https://help.github.com/articles/signing-commits-using-gpg/

    gpgSign = true

[user]

    name = Cătălin Mariș
    email = account@example.com
    signingKey = XXXXXXXX

The ~/.vimrc.local file will be automatically sourced after ~/.vimrc, thus, allowing its content to add or overwrite the settings from ~/.vimrc.

If you decide to fork this project, do not forget to substitute my username with your own in the setup snippets and in the setup script.

To update the dotfiles you can either run the setup script or, if you want to update one particular part, run the appropriate os script.
