To use these dotfiles, you need git and stow installed.
For macOS use
brew install git stow
For Debian-based distros use
sudo apt install git stow
For Arch-based distros use
sudo pacman -S git stow
First, backup (recommended) or remove your current dotfiles, e.g. backing up .zshrc
mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.bak
Next, clone this repo to your $HOME directory and cd into the dotfiles directory
git clone https://github.com/davisssamuel/dotfiles.git && cd ~/dotfiles
Finally, use Stow to create symlinks to these dotfiles
stow .
NOTE: if you have dotfiles that were not backed-up or removed, Stow may not create symlinks and throw a conflict error. Use the adopt flag to override this repo's dotfiles with your own
stow --adopt .
If you are using bash and want the same prompt, add the following to your .bashrc
source $HOME/.git-prompt.sh
export GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS=true
export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=true
export GIT_PS1_UNTRACKEDFILES=true
CIRCLE=$'\u25CB'
# for bash
PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\n$CIRCLE \u: \W" " % " " %s"'
Alternatively, use starship with the provided config.
