# sjs's config (dotfiles)
These are my personal *nix config files, hand-crafted since around 2004 when I started by pilfering everything I could find on mailing lists and blogs. They work great on both Linux and macOS, with more server-ish stuff on the Linux side and desktop-ish stuff on the macOS side.
After zsh (big time zsh hipster) this is the first thing I set up in my shell environment on a new machine, along with [~/bin](https://github.com/samsonjs/bin).
## what've we got here?
- **zsh**: custom prompt with git integration, extensive aliases, lots of nitpicky tweaks like subword navigation excluding / for easy subpath traversal
- **$EDITOR**: vim and emacs configs, though the emacs one is fairly dated
- **git**: enhanced diffing, signed commits, pre-commit hooks
- **ruby**: rbenv integration, IRB customizations
- **screen**: yep I'm old, no tmux here
- **iOS simulator stuff**: [device control utilities](https://gist.github.com/insidegui/b570ec998b9e2aeb730f4e142f0593d1) via `devicectl.sh` (from Gui Rambo)
## setup
All files in this repo are symlinked to `~/.filename`. Any existing files are backed up to `~/original-dot-files/` before linking so you won't lose anything, though it is up to you to merge the changes if you care.
```zsh
# symlink all the files in this directory
# (excluding init.sh, Brewfile, and zsh directory)
./init.sh
```
There's also a Brewfile with stuff that I usually want for general shell usability, along with ruby and iOS dev. I don't recommend using this without customizing it.
```zsh
brew bundle install
```
