dotfiles

Bootstrap script for setting up a new RunPod dev environment with persistent storage.

Key concept

On RunPod, /root (home) is ephemeral — wiped on pod restart. /workspace is persistent. This repo is designed to live in /workspace/dotfiles so your config survives restarts.

First-time setup

git clone https://github.com/AMindToThink/dotfiles.git /workspace/dotfiles
cd /workspace/dotfiles
./setup.sh

Pod restarts

Set your RunPod start command to:

bash /workspace/dotfiles/apply.sh

This re-creates symlinks and bashrc additions in the ephemeral /root on each restart.

What setup.sh does

1. System deps — installs curl, wget, vim, jq, tmux, gh CLI
2. Git identity — sets user to AMindToThink
3. GitHub auth — runs gh auth login
4. Dotfiles — runs apply.sh (symlinks configs, appends bashrc additions)
5. Secrets — creates /workspace/.secrets.env from template (fill in your API keys)
6. Claude Code — clones claude-code-settings to /workspace/.claude
7. uv — installs uv for Python package management

What apply.sh does (fast, runs on every restart)

• Symlinks .tmux.conf, .gitconfig from /workspace/dotfiles → ~
• Symlinks /workspace/.secrets.env → ~/.secrets.env
• Symlinks /workspace/.claude → ~/.claude
• Appends shell additions to ~/.bashrc (if not already present)
• Sets git global identity

Persistent storage layout

/workspace/
├── dotfiles/          # this repo
├── .secrets.env       # your API keys (gitignored, persistent)
└── .claude/           # Claude Code settings repo (persistent)

After setup

1. Fill in /workspace/.secrets.env with your API keys
2. Run source ~/.bashrc
3. Verify with git config user.name
