# Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, which contain my custom system configuration preferences. 

## Contents

+ zsh configuration
+ vim configuration
+ tmux configuration
+ git configuration
+ osx configuration
+ bash configuration

## Install

The organization of this project is similar to [Zach Holman's ](http://github.com/holman/dotfiles) setup.

### Clone
First, clone the repository to your home directory and name it ".dotfiles"

	git clone git@github.com:nicknisi/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Then cd into that directory

	cd ~/.dotfiles
	#### Backup

A backup task is included. This will find all the files that will be replaced and make a backup of them. For example, if you currently have a ".zshrc" file, it will be moved to ".zshrc.backup"
	
	rake backup
	
### Install

Symlink the necessary files. The task will perform a search  for all files in the *.dotfiles* directory that have the ".symlink" suffix and create a symbolic link in the home directory that drops the suffix and prefixes with a '.'

	rake install
	
## Uninstall

If you would like to bring back your previous configuration, run the uninstalll task. This will remove the created symlinks.

	rake uninstall
	
Then, if you would like to restore your previous configuration, run the restore task.
	
	rake restore
	
## ZSH Plugins

By default, the *.zshrc* file will source any file within .dotfiles that has the *".zsh"* suffix.
