Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. As you will notice, they are quite simple. Over the years, I have built up many complex and fancy init scripts for many different programs, but I've come to realize that sometimes simplicity and defaults are better.

The dotfiles here are just the basics—useful aliases and functions that have stuck around throughout the years. They're minimal, but useful. The main part of my .ashrc is the customized prompt, which supports showing the current git branch.

My shell init scripts are written in POSIX shell, so they should work on any shell. As I've hopped from Ubuntu to Arch to OpenBSD to FreeBSD and now to Alpine, I've used a lot of shells, and I want my init scripst to work on all of them out of the box.

System Setup

My current operating system of choice is Alpine Linux. If I ever re-install, this is the set up procedure:
