Gib's Dotfiles

Contains everything I use to setup a new machine (except ssh and gpg keys).

How to run

Run either the full or the manual setup, then go to the Post Install Setup.

Requirements

• Git:

Standard full setup

# Make a directory to put it in (any path is fine):
mkdir -p ~/code
git clone https://github.com/gibfahn/dot ~/code/dot && cd ~/code/dot
HARDCORE="" ./up

Lite (non-root) setup

Useful for remote machines you don't own (you still want some niceties, but you can't install a bunch of packages). Just copy and paste this one-line command:

git clone https://github.com/gibfahn/dot -o up && cd dot &&
  GIT_NAME=$(git config --global user.name) GIT_EMAIL=$(git config --global user.email) NO_SUDO=true HARDCORE="" ./up

How to update to the latest master

./update

Manual setup

Everything should be pretty self-explanatory and commented, it's all basic bash scripting. From ./up you can see what scripts get run. Each of them can be run individually (and run more than once).

If you don't have root (and don't want sudo prompts), just do:

export NO_SUDO=true

The scripts change your default shell to zsh, if you don't want this change $NEWSHELL to the path to the shell you'd like (or an empty string to not change shell). Make sure the shell you choose is in /etc/shells.

export NEWSHELL=/usr/local/bin/fish # Or NEWSHELL="" to keep current shell.

If you want hardcore modifications enter anything at the prompt.

If you want to enable HARDCORE mode for a single script, just pass it as an env var, e.g.

export HARDCORE=true
./setup/unix.sh

If you just want to update your dotfile symlinks, you can just run:

./link

Dotfiles are pretty personal, so feel free to adapt this repo as you wish. If you make a change feel free to send a Pull Request, you might fix something for me!

Adding a new file to your dotfiles

As long as it goes in $HOME, just put it in the same relative directory inside ./dotfiles/ (so ~/.bashrc becomes dot/dotfiles/.bashrc). If you rerun link it should get symlinked into the right place.
