Manage dotfiles with chezmoi

Here are some guidelines to set up a local machine using chezmoi.

Install curl, git

We will need curl to install chezmoi

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install curl

And we will need git to be able to pull the repo locally:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install git

Everything else will be installed by chezmoi.

Install chezmoi and run installation scripts

This single command should be enough:

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS https://get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply $GITHUB_USERNAME

Post-installation manual operations

• Create local ssh keys (following ~/.ssh/config);
• Import gpg key.;
• Add internal docker registry to /etc/docker/daemon.json to bypass rate limiting policy.
