These are just my Linux dotfiles which I am using at work with focus on Administration / DevOps / NodeJS / Javascript. Managed with GNU Stow. Feel free to use or get inspired, but as always take care of the dragon! (Just be carefull and know what the fuck you do ;-) ).
stowandgitpowered: symlink dotfiles and thus keep them always up-to-date in your repository- topical organization: organize dotfiles by application facilitating reuse across different machines
- clever naming scheme: the repository architecture is easy to browse while staying compatible with stow symlinking mechanism
- KISS: there is deliberately none build script involved at all, the repository consist of dotfiles all installable using same modus operandi (
stow <directory>)
sudo apt install git stow && \
git clone git@github.com:flokoe/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles && \
cd ~/.dotfiles && stow -t ~ stowstow $PACKAGE_NAMEstow -R $PACKAGE_NAMEstow -D $PACKAGE_NAMEEach package has a README.md which gives a short overview of the package itself and provides notes and requirements.
- lowercase for packages to install in $HOME (the default)
- titlecase for packages to install as root in
/(e.g.@Daemon-osx) - leading
@for environment packages and subpackages (e.g.@mac) - leading
_for non packages meaning that these directories must not be stowed (e.g._homebrew)
Having a convention for subpackage naming enable us to write a .stow-global-ignore file so that subpackages are not symlinked when stowing parent package.
There are many awesome dotfile repositories, but here are those which inspired me or where I stole ideas and functionality from.
