How It Works

Cstow passes dirs and targets from cstow.toml to GNU Stow.

Installation

1) Preparation

1. Clone the repo.

   gh repo clone constkolesnyak/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
   

2. Source aliases and environment variables.

   Run where some_alias to understand aliases before executing them.

   . ~/dotfiles/zsh/.aliases.zsh ~/dotfiles/zsh/.zvars.env
   

2) Brew

1. Check what apps are missing.

   Delete the ones you don't need from Brewfile.

   brcheck
   

2. Install apps.

   brbundle
   

3) Stow

1. Symlink .stow-global-ignore.

   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.stow-global-ignore ~/.stow-global-ignore
   

2. Install and configure Cstow.

3. Run Cstow in simulation mode.

   nostow
   

4. Run Cstow for real.

   ststow
   

3) Finally

• Source ~/.zshrc.

  reload
  

4) Additionally

• Install apps listed in some_cli_apps.txt.

• Sync VS Code UI state. Unfortunately, it can't be version controlled.

• Add SSH keys for GitHub and/or GitLab to ~/.ssh.

• Sync macOS settings with defaults scripts.

  1. On Mac-1 with desired settings.

     zsh ~/dotfiles/bin/defaults_export.zsh
     

  2. Copy directory with settings from Mac-1 to Mac-2.

  3. On Mac-2.

     xonsh ~/dotfiles/bin/defaults_import.xsh
     

Uninstall

destow
/bin/rm -rf ~/dotfiles ~/.stow-global-ignore
