This repo is for tracking/syncing my dotfiles accross various machines. I am currently using chezmoi to manage these files.
These dotfiles can be bootstraped one of two ways. Copy the install.sh file
from this repo root and run it. Or run the equvalent commands manually. Here are
the commands for manual copy/paste use (the below commands assume chezmoi is
not installed):
bin_dir="$HOME/.local/bin"
chezmoi="$bin_dir/chezmoi"
# Download via curl
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.io/chezmoi)" -- -b "$bin_dir"
# Dowload via wget if curl not installed (uncomment to use)
#sh -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/chezmoi)" -- -b "$bin_dir"
"$chezmoi" init dan-sf
"$chezmoi" apply
The apply command will copy all dotfiles from this repo into the proper places.
If on a mac, it will also run an install script that installs brew + various
packages locally.
Common usage commands:
# Add a file for chezmoi to start tracking
chezmoi add /path/to/file
# Update chezmoi files after local file changes
chezmoi re-add
# Check changes
chezmoi diff
# Apply changes from chezmoi to local files
chezmoi apply -v -n # Run first in verbose/dry-run mode
chezmoi apply -v # Run for real if the above looks okay
# See docs or use --help for more options
Chezmoi can manage/automate installer scripts, however, since I'm not setting up
new machines often, I'd rather just manually run that install process. Most of
the base packages that I use can be installed with first.sh.
