ZSH

Here be my zsh dotfiles. I started my zsh journey using oh-my-zsh, but realized that I don't need all the extras that come with it.

So I stripped the parts that I liked and modified all the things to meet my current needs.

Details

• Sets ZDOTDIR to ~/.config/zsh and moves some files to subdirectories in there.
• Uses the vi-mode plugin from oh-my-zsh
• Uses the gpg-agent plugin from oh-my-zsh
• Created a prompt based off of /usr/share/zsh/5.8.1/functions/prompt_clint_setup
• Uses zsh's vcs_info features to create git prompt:
  • <branch> - Branch name
  • * - Unstaged file
  • + - Staged file
  • % - Untracked files
  • +x - Where x is the number of commits ahead

Installation

I keep all my dotfiles in ~/.dotfiles/<repo> and use stow to place them.

• Create directory:

mkdir ~/.dotfiles

• Change directory:

cd ~/.dotfiles

• Clone repo:

git clone [email protected]:cn246-dotfiles/dotfiles-zsh.git zsh

• Delete existing dotfiles (might want to back them up instead):

files=( .zcompdump* .zprofile .zshenv .zsh_history .zshrc )

for file in "$HOME/${files[@]}"; do rm -f "$file" done

• Stow:

stow --no-folding zsh
