My dotfiles!
I use stow for deployment (and a little script), so the layout of the
dotfiles is as follows:
As you can see, 'applications' are separated on directories, and inside
them, stowable files that follow to path they should have from ~/.
There's a few special files in the hierarchy.
-
containing nostow: Any files containing
nostowin their filename will not get symlinked by stow. -
/nostow/bin/: Anything in
bin/will get added to your$PATHand be made available everywhere. -
topic/nostow/dependencies.sh: A wrapper to install the needed software for that topic (normally, Debian packages)
-
topic/nostow/*.zsh: Any files ending in
.zshget loaded into your environment. -
topic/nostow/path.zsh: Any file named
path.zshis loaded first and is expected to setup$PATHor similar. -
topic/nostow/completion.zsh: Any file named
completion.zshis loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you
can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with
an extension of .zsh inside of java/nostow/ will get automatically
included into your shell. All the things inside java that aren't inside
of nostow or don't have nostow in their filenames will get symlinked
into $HOME when you run install.sh.
To install run this:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/viccuad/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
git submodule init
git submodule update
./install.shThe install script will ask if you want to set your Zsh as the default
shell, make a new gitconfig, install the dependencies, make a dry run that
does not write anything, etc.
Installing a dir will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your
home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.
We are using stow, and stow does not delete or overwrite file that already exist. You will need to make a backup of them or delete them.
To uninstall run:
./uninstall.sh
- [] implement something like vcsh or move to it
- Make optional to load folders on zsh
