.dotfiles

One repo to rule your machine.

This repository is a collection of configuration files and Ansible tasks I use to setup my machine. These files are mainly targeted to work with Ubuntu and Arch. Although these configurations are tailored for me, you can still find some inspiration in them.

Prerequisites

To start using the configurations in this repository you will need: ansible (at least 2.5.5), make and git. The following instructions shows how to install them on Ubuntu.

# installing ansible
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ansible
# installing git and make
sudo apt-get install git make

Installation and usage.

First you need to clone the repository in your home directory.

git clone git@github.com:dexpota/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Then pull all submodules.

make git-submodule

After cloning the repository you can install the configuration files for your program by using the make utility. For example you can install git's configurations file with this command.

# An example showing how to install git's configuration files.
make git

Try the configuration with Vagrant

You can try out this configuration by using a virtual machine easily thanks to Vagrant. Follow these steps to create the virtual machine:

1. Create a directory where the Vagrant files will be saved;
2. Choose a box and create the Vagrant configuration file vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64;
3. Start the virtual machine vagrant up;
4. Log-on to the machine vagrant ssh;

Todo

• vim: Check vim installation to make it easier, now to install vim configuration files you need to execute these commands:
• stow: checkout the command line argument --dotfiles for stow command;

cd ~/.dotfiles
ansible-playbook local.yml --tags=pathogen,vim
make vim
