dotly dotfiles

Yet another work in progress dotfile manager

Inspired by holman/dotfiles and pearl-core

Dotly will be migrated to it's own repo, apart from my personal dotfiles, soon ™

Pre Install

• Sign into the app store to allow apps to be installed.
• Update git Name and Email in git/.gitconfig

Install

git clone https://github.com/KarelCasier/dotly-dotfiles ~/.config/dotly
cd ~/.config/dotly
./bin/dotly install ~/.config/dotly/mac-profile

Note that Dotly can be installed anywhere and profiles can be seperate from dotly as well.

Note

If you're not using the zsh module or prefer bash - add the following to the top of the profile:

export DOTLY=~/.config/dotly/
source $DOTLY/bin/startup.sh

About

More info coming soon

A profile is simply a txt file listing modules to use. Installing a profile simply symlinks the text file to a .current-profile file at the root of dotly which is then used in the rest of the installation process as well as on shell startup. Any directory can be the base of user defined modules given that the profile file is at the root.

Each module contains a install.sh script and a corresponding install function that is called when installed using dotly (other functionality to come).

Optionally, each module can contain a startup.sh/zsh that is sourced during the corresponding shell's startup.

Coming Soon

• Auto add dotly startup.sh sourcing to .bashrc and .zshrc if they exist
• Update module functions
• Uninstall module functions (called when switching to profiles that omit installed profiles)
• Quiet, Verbose and Force modes for commands

Post install

• setup iTerm2 themes

• setup caps lock -> esc mapping (Unable find a defaults write ... command)

• install vim plugins using :PlugInstall in vim

• install tmux plugins using <prexix-I> in tmux
