workbench

• Reproducible working environment

• Save all configurations as plain text and keep them under version control.

• Full responsibility over what's added and removed. Never copy any config blindly.

• Stick to defaults but customize as necessary. Keep customization minimal to ensure operability in any environment.

• "Unix is my IDE"

• Consider the Lindy effect before introducing new tools or configurations.

Setup

Set a directory to clone this repository, and then change directory into the workbench folder.

echo 'export WORKBENCH_PATH="$HOME/.../workbench"' | tee -a "$HOME/.zshenv" "$HOME/.bash_profile"
git clone https://github.com/strboul/workbench.git "$WORKBENCH_PATH"
cd "$WORKBENCH_PATH"

Recommended steps to install the parts in the following order.

1. Install core system/.../core

2. Link dotfiles files by running ./files/symlink

3. Configure main system system/.../main

Development

• Copy current git hooks to the cloned repository: cp -R files/git/git_templates/hooks/* .git/hooks

• Run pre-commit install that installs the hook scripts at .git/hooks
