General trunc of my config

Why a general trunc ?

Some people at school are using my config and don't agree with all the modifications I want to do so I've got 2 options :

• I don't do what I want to not bother them
• I do it because I really want it, sorry guys

The thing is, when I find something fun which can help with school's Mac, they might need to update and take the (not wanted) modifications anyway.

Solution

I split my config in 2

• global stuff for everyone
• personal stuff This repo is the global one

What did it provide ?

• Some usefull alias
• Basic configuration for zsh
• Install script that help at school with zfs change

How to use

Clone it

First, you need to clone it in "$HOME/.config_common"

git clone https://github.com/Geam/config.git $HOME/.config_common

Run it

Then run it

$HOME/.config_common/install.sh <options>

Options

• -u : Update the symbolic link
• -f|--force : Doesn't ask question, do it
• -p|--personal <url_to_personal_git_repo> : you need to pass the url to your personal config repo and it will clone it
• -b : update brew, tap repo if any and install applications if any
• -h|--help : display help

Personal config

Well, it's just a repo with your files inside.

Specific files

• brew_apps : contain application you would like to install with brew, one application per line
• brew_tap : contain list of depot to tap with brew, one depot per line
• install.sh : If you provied a install.sh in your personal repo, the global install.sh will run it
• ln : the global install.sh will make symbolic link, cf "ln file" below
• prompt : it should only contain the prompt you would like to use, if not provied, the general one will be use
• zshrc : the global zshrc will source it at the end of it's own execution

ln file

In this file, you can write the symlink you want to create. Those symlink will be updated by the global install.sh if you've got a zfs change. The syntax is as follow :

<file_to_symlink>:<name_of_symlink>

If those name begin with '/', they will be used as given, if not, those names will be prefixed. In the second case, the command that will be run is the following :

ln -s $HOME/.config_personal/<file_to_symlink> $HOME/<name_of_symlink>

Note that every time you start the install script with the -u flag, the symblink will be updated

Usage example

Installation with personal configuration

cd
git clone git@github.com:Geam/config_common.git .config_common
cd .config_common
./install.sh -u -b -f -p git@github.com:Geam/config_personal.git

Update symbolic link

cd $HOME/.config_common
./install.sh -u -f
