Dotfiles are files or directories on *nix systems which filesystem
|
|
utilities do not display by default when showing a directory
|
|
listing.
|
|
|
|
To list these files, run: ls -a
|
|
|
|
On cosmic.voyage there are several dotfiles that you may want to
|
|
customize
|
|
|
|
1. ~/.plan & ~/.project
|
|
|
|
These files are displayed when someone checks your account with the
|
|
`finger` command. Create these files with the editor of your choice
|
|
inside your HOME directory. The .plan file should contain a few
|
|
lines with general information about you or your account. The
|
|
.project file should only contain one line, generally contains
|
|
information about your short-term goals. You can create either or
|
|
both of these files, if both exist the .project file should be
|
|
output above the .plan file when somebody runs `finger username@cosmic.voyage`
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. ~/ship/ship_name/.description
|
|
|
|
This file provides a description for your ship/colony/output where
|
|
you can introduce your story or provide more information as you see
|
|
fit.
|
|
|
|
3. .profile / .bashrc
|
|
|
|
These files change the way your shell runs, you can change your
|
|
default text editor by adding a line like:
|
|
|
|
export EDITOR=vim
|
|
|
|
to change your default text editor from jed to vim, or you can
|
|
create aliases as shortcuts to your favorite commands with lines
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
alias ll='ls -oFhA'
|
|
|
|
this one will list the contents of a directory, append a character
|
|
to indicate the files type, and print the file size in a
|
|
human-readable format. There's tons of options that can be tweaked
|
|
in here.
|
|
|
|
4. other config files
|
|
|
|
.muttrc & .pinerc files can be written to customize the mutt and
|
|
alpine email clients respectively.
|
|
|
|
.signature file will be used by some email apps to be appended as a
|
|
signature on outgoing messages.
|
|
|
|
.vim & .vimrc is a directory of configurations and a single
|
|
configuration file to customize the way the vim text editor works.
|
|
|
|
.pronouns is a file where you can define your preferred pronouns.
|
|
These will show when someone looks you up using the 'finger' command.
