Like many Unix hackers who move around from machine to machine I often found I spent a lot of time messing around setting up my environment. Eventually I moved all my dotfiles into version control and scripted up some quick set-up instructions.
This basically runs un-trusted shell script from the internet. You shouldn’t do it unless you are confident it won’t hose your system. I offer no such guarantees ;-)
wget -O - https://raw.github.com/stsquad/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh | bashThis repository contains “dotfiles” for bash and a whole bunch of other bits and pieces. The script setup_dotfiles.sh will symlink all the files in their correct place. Currently if you add new files it needs to be re-run.
Each “dotbash_${FEATURE}” file is translated to ~/.bash_${FEATURE}. The main .bash_profile code runs some basic tests to see if it’s worth loading the snippet:
load_extra_module keys ssh-agent gpg-agent keychainFiles in dotconfig are treated the same although the sub-directory is created for them by the setup script.
Sometimes you want to only have certain setups for different users or
machines. This is dealt with by pre-pending the dotfile with
There is no reason the sub-modules couldn’t be kept in a directory in the repository to avoid cluttering up ~
In theory it should be compatible, I need to try this out.
