Home Directory

I log on to a lot of various unix like machines (mainly Mac & Linux), and I have setup my environment for things such as autotest, vim, and my bash prompt in my own useful way.

I used to store this in a private subversion repository, but I figured in the process of converting it to git, that I should share it. It is on github for all to see.

Recent addition was adding the current git branch to the bash prompt as mentioned on Simplistic Complexity

I do exactly the same thing. However, the interaction of my dotfiles is slightly more complex, so I have to include some of my /etc files as well. Soon I’ll get around to completing a Rakefile.rb to automatically move any existing such files, and symlink them from the checkout directory – so I can keep them all up to date automatically.

I’m considering doing some sort of ERb-evaulated dotfiles system later on, with a Rakefile.rb to evaluate them, building some bits from system information (because large swatches of my dotfiles are system dependant), and then installing them.
