Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.1

v1.0.0

Complete rewrite using Chezmoi and Ansible.

• Replaced the custom bash bootstrap system with chezmoi for dotfile management and templating

• Added ~/.inputrc with readline improvements: arrow key history search, case-insensitive completion, colored stats

v0.9.0

Snapshot of my dotfiles from the 2010s.

Environments

This repository attempts to support:

• MacOS
• Linux - primarily Debian
• Windows - using Cygwin; minimal support

Structure

• bin/ - executables available via $PATH
• docs/ - help files, tutorials, cheatsheets, etc.
• functions/ - autoloaded global functions
• modules/ - autoloaded config files grouped by library/feature/package
• init.sh - main script that loads all functions and modules

How it works

*.symlink magic

All files and directories ending with .symlink will get automatically
symlinked into the $HOME directory when you run the dotfiles installer.

The dotfiles installer is safe in that it will never destroy existing files,
it can run multiple times with the same outcome (i.e. idempotent), and you can
undo all changes with the uninstaller. You'll only need to run the dotfiles
installer once.

After running the dotfiles installer, your $HOME folder will look something
like:

$ ls -l `find ~ -maxdepth 1 -type l -print`
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  staff  57 Aug 11 11:28 /Users/myuser/.bash_profile@ -> /Users/myuser/.dotfiles/modules/bash/bash_profile.symlink
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  staff  51 Aug 11 11:28 /Users/myuser/.bashrc@ -> /Users/myuser/.dotfiles/modules/bash/bashrc.symlink
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  staff  51 Aug 11 11:28 /Users/myuser/.bundle@ -> /Users/myuser/.dotfiles/modules/ruby/bundle.symlink
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  staff  50 Aug 11 11:28 /Users/myuser/.gemrc@ -> /Users/myuser/.dotfiles/modules/ruby/gemrc.symlink
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  staff  53 Aug 11 11:28 /Users/myuser/.gitignore@ -> /Users/myuser/.dotfiles/modules/git/gitignore.symlink
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myuser  staff  52 Aug 11 11:28 /Users/myuser/.inputrc@ -> /Users/myuser/.dotfiles/modules/bash/inputrc.symlink
...

NOTE: The symlinked source files should never begin with a . dot. The symlink
installer will automatically add a preceeding dot to the symlink destination files.
For example, ~/.bashrc -> ~/.dotfiles/bash/bashrc.symlink.

Load init.sh

The init.sh file is the one and only main bootstrapper script that loads
global shell variables, loads globally available functions, and autoloads
module scripts.

The init.sh script is sourced by very thin .bashrc and .bash_profile which
get symlinked into your $HOME directory via the dotfiles installer. These
files can be found within the modules/bash/ directory.

Load global functions

The init.sh loader will first source functions before any modules so all
global functions are available within each module.

Functions will load in alphabetic order of their filename. Ideally, each file
should contain a single function or a group of tightly knit functions.

Load *.autoload.sh module files

After loading functions, the init.sh bootstrapper will find all files appended
with .autoload.sh and load them using the built-in source command. The
bootstrap loader will take multiple passes to load bash files:

1. first loading files ending in .autoload.first.sh
2. then .autoload.sh
3. and finally .autoload.last.sh

During each pass, files will load in alphabetical order of directory name
followed by filename. Autoloaded files are typically found within the modules/
directory.

Copy *.template files

Files or directories ending with .template will get copied into the $HOME
directory when you run the dotfiles installer.

NOTE: This functionality is not fully supported yet.

Bin commands

The bin commands will be made available by adding the bin/ directory to
$PATH from within the bash module.

• dotfiles - install, uninstall, and more
• reload - reloads the shell without exiting
