There's a lot of things you can copy for your dotfiles, but the latest and greatest versions of everything are being kept only here.

carlos' dotfiles

Config files for Fish, Go, Editors, Terminals and more.

Forked from my ZSH dotfiles, these are my Fish Shell config files, together with editor, macOS configs and other goodies.

Installation

Dependencies

First, make sure you have all the following installed:

git: to clone the repository
curl: to download files
tar: to extract downloaded files
fish: the shell
sudo: some configurations may need that

Install

Then, run these steps:

git clone https://github.com/caarlos0/dotfiles.fish.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./script/bootstrap.fish

All changed files were backed up with a .backup suffix.

Update

To update, you need to git pull and run the bootstrap script again:

cd ~/.dotfiles
git pull origin master
./script/bootstrap.fish

Revert

Reverting is not totally automated, but it pretty much consists in removing the fish configuration and the .dotfiles folder, as well as moving back some other configuration files:

rm -rf ~/.dotfiles $__fish_config_dir

The bootstrap script created a bunch of symbolic links that are now invalid. You will have to investigate those manually. In cases a file already existed, the script/bootstrap.fish script should have created a .backup file with the same name.
