Installation

To install, in terminal navigate to your home folder and run git clone http://github.com/twe4ked/dotfiles.git .dotfiles to pull down these files.

Next, open your ~/.profile in a text editor and add the following at the bottom. If you don’t have a ~/.profile simply create one and it will automatically be run by terminal.app when each time you run it.

# Contents of ~/.profile
if [ -e ~/.dotfiles ]; then
  . ~/.dotfiles/config
fi

Setup symlinks for .irbrc ln -s ~/.dotfiles/lib/irbrc .irbrc # Setup .irbrc symlink (command must be run from your home folder)

zsh specific
Install oh-my-zsh wget http://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh

Setup symlinks for my.zsh-theme:
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zsh-theme my.zsh-theme # Setup my.zsh-theme symlink (command must be run from ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes)

Remove ~/.zshrc and replace with a symlink to the custom version:
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zshrc .zshrc # Setup .zshrc symlink (command must be run from ~/)

Prompt

What you have to look at all day.

[~/.dotfiles (git-branch)] » user@hostname (bash)
[~/.dotfiles] » user@hostname (zsh) (rvm) ± (master*) 1+ [19:30] ⚡

The ⚡ symbol changes colour based on battery levels.
1+ is the number of git stashes
user@hostname only displays when user = root or connected over ssh
