Overview

Personal dotfiles for Windows and Linux.

.
├── bootstrap       # Contains scripts (Bash and PowerShell) for bootstrapping new systems (Windows and Linux only)
├── chezmoi_home    # Contains dotfiles that are managed by chezmoi (https://www.chezmoi.io/)
├── home            # Contains dotfiles that are not managed by chezmoi (typically these are symlinked manually)
├── misc            # Contains anything that doesn't cleanly fit into the other folders

Setup dependencies

Windows

Install scoop:

iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex

Open Powershell as admin:

Set execution policy to bypass so we can run bw cli. I generally find the defaults to be annoying anyways:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force

Install chocolatey:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Install git, chezmoi, ande NodeJS:

winget install Git.Git twpayne.chezmoi OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS

Install bw cli:

npm install -g @bitwarden/cli

Linux (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed)

Setup distrobox (optional)

When running Tumbleweed on bare metal, I prefer to keep my development environment (including stuff needed for dotfiles management) in a container instead of on the host machine.

Install distrobox and enter distrobox container shell:

sudo zypper in distrobox distrobox-bash-completion
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
sudo systemctl enable --now docker.service
sudo systemctl enable --now containerd.service
sudo systemctl start docker
docker run hello-world
distrobox enter twdevbox

Afterwards, run the steps from the below section in the distrobox container.

This step is not applicable when setting up a WSL environment.

Setup dependences

Install git and chezmoi:

sudo zypper in -y git chezmoi

Install fnm, node, and npm:

curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash -s -- --skip-shell
export PATH=/home/$USER/.local/share/fnm:$PATH
eval "`fnm env`"
fnm install v18.14.0
fnm default v18.14.0
fnm use default

Install bitwarden cli:

npm install -g @bitwarden/cli

Set api client secret

Windows:

$env:BW_CLIENTSECRET='...'

Linux:

export BW_CLIENTSECRET="..."

Log into bitwarden

bw login

Initialize dotfiles

chezmoi init --apply ishchow

Change chezmoi repo settings

chezmoi cd
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:ishchow/dotfiles.git
git config user.email "<chezmoi repo email>" # In case default git user is different

Bootstrap new system

Linux (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed)

Enter bootstrap directory:

cd ~/.local/share/chezmoi/bootstrap

Run appropriate bootstrap script:

bash bootstrap-tw-kde.sh # Runs bootstrap for DE and apps, run on host
bash bootstrap-twdevbox.sh # Runs bootstrap for containerized dev env (it calls bootstrap.sh already)
bash bootstrap.sh # Runs bootstrap for dev environment, run on WSL or on host if not using distrobox

Windows

Open Powershell as admin.

Enter bootstrap directory:

cd ~\.local\share\chezmoi\bootstrap

Run bootstrap script:

.\bootstrap.ps1
