This is my personal dotfiles repo. It houses the configuration of my development setup for multiple operating systems (Pop-Os Linux, Wsl and Windows). Feel free to browse the repo for inspiration, but keep in mind that things are personalized and might not work out of the box on your system when copying. You can read more about the concept of dotfiles at dotfiles.github.io

Highlights

• Crossplatform support for Linux(Pop-Os), Windows and Wsl(Ubuntu)
• Dotbot for installation and dependency management
  • Links all configuration files and scripts to the correct locations
  • Installs additional software
• Highly customized Neovim editor for coding
• Tmux for session management (not on Windows)

Installation

Installation on Ubuntu and Wsl

1. Clone this repo into ~/dotfiles by running cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/1DIce/dotfiles.git
2. Setup shell proper configuration ./install-profile.sh ubuntu-shell
3. Install zsh and switch to it sudo apt update && sudo apt install zsh -y && chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh
4. Restart your terminal to start using zsh. It is required for the rest of the installation to work properly.
5. Setup the rest of the dotfiles and software .install-profile ubuntu

Installation on Windows

1. Make sure that scoop is installed on the system. Dotbot will use it to install dependencies
2. Make sure you are using git-bash to run the installation
3. Clone this repo into ~/dotfiles by running cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/1DIce/dotfiles.git
4. Run the dotbot profile for windows to install everything ./install-profile.sh windows

Additional notes

Installing a dotbot profile

./install-profile <profile> [<configs...>] The possible values for profile are the files in meta/profiles/

Installing a single dotbot config

./install-standalone <configs...> The possible values for configs are the files in meta/configs/

You can also invoke a single configuration as a sudoer by adding -sudo to the end of a configuration ./install-standalone some-config-sudo some-other-config

Adding a new git submodule

Add the submodule to the repository by running:

cd ~/dotfiles 
git submodule add --depth 1 <repo-url> ./libs/<repo-name>
git config -f .gitmodules submodule.path/to/submodule.shallow true
git config -f .gitmodules submodule.path/to/submodule.ignore dirty

Modify the install.conf.yml accordingly
