I just wanted the basic functionality to manage my own dotfiles. I decided to do it in Python because It seems more natural to me rather than do It using shell scripting.
pip install mypydot
Using it for the first time : mypydot . This command will create a new folder called .mypydotfiles
in your $HOME directory. In this folder you will find the following folder structure :
| Folder | |
|---|---|
language |
In case you want to save some dotfiles related with your favourite programming languages |
os |
Operating system dotfiles |
shell |
Small setup of aliases and exports that can be accessed from everywhere |
config |
Docker, Git, Editors, etc. You can also find here a few almost empty scripts for storing your aliases, exports and functions. |
conf.yml |
This file contains every file that you want to track in your dotfiles repository, feel free to add & remove symlinks ! |
Once you run this process you will notice that you have a few new lines your .bashrc and in your .zshrc
export MYPYDOTFILES=/Users/username/.mypydotfiles
source $MYPYDOTFILES/shell/main.sh
This lines will be used to source yours aliases, exports and functions to be available in your terminal. Besides that, nothing else is edited.
Select your existing conf file and the modules you want to resync / install
