There are tons of useful things in here:

• The usefulness of “Oh My ZSH!” is already built–in.
• 🚀⭐️ Spaceships as a prompt.
• 🐟 Fish-like autosuggestions.
• Syntax highlighting of commands while they are typed.
• Automatically closing and deleting of quotes and brackets when you type them.
• Browser-like substring search for history.
• zgen for dependency management.
• Useful aliases.
• Git config, global .gitignore file and aliases.
• Dotfiles synchronization (sync.py) with backup.
• Restoring old dotfiles (restore.py) from backup.
• A lot of useful bins.
• update script for updating dotfiles, npm, brew, gems, etc.

Missing feature? 🍴 Fork this repo and make it better!

Dotfiles are installed by running one of the following commands in your terminal, just copy one of the following commands and execute in the terminal:

Tell Git who you are using these commands:

git config -f ~/.gitlocal user.email "[email protected]"
git config -f ~/.gitlocal user.name "Name Lastname"

Clone dotfiles repo:

# Clone dotfiles repo
git clone https://github.com/denysdovhan/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

# Go to the dotfiles directory
cd $HOME/.dotfiles

# Install dotfiles
./install

Use single command to get latest updates:

update

This command will update dotfiles, their dependencies, brew or apt-get packages, global npm dependencies, gems, apm plugins.

Note: You may put your custom settings into ~/.zshlocal.

I suggest you to organize project folder as follows:

~/Projects
├── Forks       # for GitHub fork
├── Job         # for job projects
├── Playground  # for short-term experiments
└── Repos       # for long-term projects
