Dotfiles

This repo contains config for my Linux environment.

I use Alacritty as my terminal emulator, Fish for my shell, Helix for my editor, and Zellij for multitasking, so most of the config is for those tools. Everything else is for tools I use frequently enough to want already installed everywhere.

Install

I use chezmoi to manage my dotfiles, and I install my tools in a container using toolbx. You should first ensure you have the following already installed:

• git
• curl
• fish
• toolbx

Then run the following:

# Install the toolbx container
toolbox create --image ghcr.io/ublue-os/arch-distrobox:latest
# Make toolbx simple to invoke
echo 'alias enter="SHELL=/usr/sbin/fish toolbox enter arch-distrobox-latest"' >> ~/.bashrc
# Enter the toolbx container
toolbox enter arch-distrobox-latest
# Install chezmoi
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm chezmoi
# Install dotfiles
chezmoi init --apply smores56

Post-Install

You'll probably want to set up your SSH key and GitHub access like this:

# Create SSH key
if ! test -e ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub; then
  mkdir -p ~/.ssh
  ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 4096 -C $(hostname)
fi

# Log in to GitHub via CLI
gh auth login --git-protocol=ssh --scopes=admin:public_key

# Add SSH key to GitHub
PUBLIC_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | cut -d " " -f 2)
if ! curl -L https://github.com/smores56.keys | grep "$PUBLIC_KEY" 1>/dev/null; then
  gh ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub -t "$(hostname)"
fi

# Use SSH auth for dotfiles repo
cd $(chezmoi source-path)
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:smores56/dotfiles.git

If you want file syncronization with pCloud, you should install the app from their site.
