These dotfiles are intended to live within ${HOME}/dotfiles, although this can be configured in .profile and configure.sh.
The script configure.sh attempts to install a set of frequently used packages (for Ubuntu/Debian) and creates the proper dotfile links to files in this repository.
Both zsh and bash shell dotfiles are designed share as much commonalaties as possible and provide a similar environment on Ubuntu, Debian, OSX, Red Hat, and Solaris systems.
The central dotfile that ties everything together is .profile, which both .zshrc and .bashrc are symlinked to. This file determins the operating system and shell and then sets additional configuration depending on what the system environment is.
- For zsh prezto is used for shell customization
- For bash bash-completion is enabled when available
- Shell specific configuration is done in zshrc and bashrc
- Additional shell/OS shared configuration may be done in vars, functions, and local files and can overrides prezto and bash-completion
