TomNomNom Dotfiles (Zsh Enhanced)

This is a collection of personal dotfiles, which have been customized for use with Zsh.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have installed the following software:

• Git: To clone this repository and for Vim plugin management (Vundle).
• Zsh: The shell that will be configured.
• Vim: The text editor configured by .vimrc in these dotfiles.
• curl or wget: Required if you plan to run the go-setup.sh script.

Prerequisites Installation:

• On macOS (using Homebrew):

  brew install git zsh vim curl wget

• On Linux (example for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions):

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install git zsh vim curl wget -y

  For other Linux distributions (e.g., Fedoria, Arch Linux), use the appropriate package manager (e.g., dnf, pacman).

Dotfiles Installation

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to a directory of your choice, for example ~/.dotfiles:

   https://github.com/0x1Jar/dotfiles-zsh.git ~/.dotfiles

   If you are already in a directory that contains these dotfiles, you can skip this step.

2. Move to the Dotfiles Directory:

   cd ~/.dotfiles

   (Or the directory where you cloned/stored these dotfiles).

3. Run the Setup Script: The setup.sh script will create the necessary symlinks for the configuration files (.zshrc, .vimrc, etc.) to your home directory and will install Vundle (a Vim plugin manager).

   ./setup.sh

   Note: If you get a permission error, run chmod +x setup.sh first.

4. Verify Vim Plugin Installation: The setup.sh script attempts to install Vim plugins automatically. To verify or if there are issues, open Vim:

   vim

   Then run the following command within Vim:

   :PluginInstall

   Close Vim once the installation is complete (:qa).

Go Installation (Optional)

If you need a Go development environment, you can use the go-setup.sh script. This script will download and install the Go version specified in it.

./go-setup.sh

Note: This script uses sudo to move the Go files to /usr/local/go, so you might be prompted for a password. Make sure to check and possibly update the Go version in the go-setup.sh script to the latest version you want.

Setting Zsh as the Default Shell

If Zsh is not already your default shell, you can change it with the following command:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

You need to log out and log back in, or restart your system for this change to take full effect.

Starting a New Zsh Session

Close your current terminal and open a new one to start using your new Zsh configuration. You can also try running source ~/.zshrc in the existing Zsh session, but starting a new session is the best way to make sure everything loads correctly.

Additional Local Configuration

You can place additional personal configuration that you don't want to track in Git in the ~/.localrc file. This file will be sourced automatically by .zshrc if it exists.

Enjoy your dotfiles configuration!
