@raisedadead's dotfiles

Every-day carry for my systems.

My dotfiles follow the convention from homeshick.

homeshick is a Git-based dotfiles synchronizer utility. The convention is to split up collections of dotfiles into repositories called "castles". This particular repository is my primary castle. It has all the standard and most used configs. Other castles are private or platform-specific.

Be mindful of the spelling "homesick" vs. "homeshick". The former is the original tool implemented in ruby and later in shell script. I use a shell alias alias home=homeshick to execute commands for convenience.

In practice, you should be able to use the files as is, by getting them from the /home directory in this repository.

Prerequisite

If you are the same person as I am, make sure that the initial system setup checklist has been completed and tools and packages have been installed.

Packages and tools:

Check and get additional tools and packages for the system.

• Brewfile for Homebrew on Linux

  https://github.com/raisedadead/dotfiles-linux/blob/master/home/Brewfile

• Brewfile for Homebrew on macOS

  https://github.com/raisedadead/Brewfile

  I manage my Brewfile on macOS with a Brewfile manager called Brew-file. It handles installing casks and applications from the App Store with mas-cli. Additionally it neatly wraps the brew command to keep the Brewfile updated and synchronized.

  I now use brew bundle to manage the Brewfile.

Installation

1. Install homeshick and source it:

   git clone https://github.com/andsens/homeshick.git $HOME/.homesick/repos/homeshick
   source ~/.homesick/repos/homeshick/homeshick.sh

   Later we would be able to use our alias dot for homeshick, once we have loaded the first castle.

2. Get the primary castle:

   homeshick clone git@github.com:raisedadead/dotfiles.git

3. Repeat for others:

   Private Castle (https://github.com/raisedadead/dotfiles-private):

   homeshick clone git@github.com:raisedadead/dotfiles-private.git

   Ubuntu Castle (https://github.com/raisedadead/dotfiles-linux):

   homeshick clone git@github.com:raisedadead/dotfiles-linux.git

   macOS Castle (https://github.com/raisedadead/dotfiles-macos):

   homeshick clone git@github.com:raisedadead/dotfiles-macos.git

   Neovim Castle (https://github.com/raisedadead/dotfiles-nvim):
