Abstract

Dotfiles for a wide variety of Unix and Unix-like systems that include plan9port support. You probably don't want this.

Installation instructions

./install.sh                   # if POSIX /bin/sh
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh install.sh    # pre-POSIX SVR Bourne /bin/sh

Install script supports -p (pretend) and -d dir (install in dir).

Platform support and requirements

These files require a POSIX compliant user shell. In addition they require /bin/test to be present and support -ef which is not in POSIX.

Supported operating systems:

• Linux (any distribution except NixOS).
• macOS
• FreeBSD
• OpenBSD, NetBSD
• Solaris 8/9/10 (only with ksh shell or better, not SVR /bin/sh)
• Solaris 11
• illumos (SmartOS, OmniOSce, OpenIndiana)
• Minix 3

Other systems may or may not work.

Supported shells:

• bash 3.2.57 (latest version shipped with macOS)
• bash (modern versions)
• zsh
• ksh93
• pdksh
• ash
• FreeBSD /bin/sh (ash derivative)
• NetBSD /bin/sh (ash derivative)
• OpenBSD /bin/ksh (pdksh derivative)
• mksh (MirBSD Korn Shell)
• dash (NetBSD ash derivative)
• yash (maximally POSIX-compliant shell)
• bosh (Schily Bourne Shell)
• BusyBox ash

Pre-POSIX SVR Bourne shells (like /bin/sh in Solaris 8/9/10) are not supported.

Shells which do not support PS1 command substitution will only get a basic PS1 prompt.
