vadimadr dotfiles

My configuration files (.dotfiles), including:

• zsh (antigen)
• vscode
• vim (vim-plug)
• tmux
• ranger
• ...

tl;dr deploy checklist

1. install zsh
2. install python>=3.6 and click

setup zsh env:

1. deploy env

./dotfiles.py deploy -g zsh -m hard

2. install starship

cd ~/local/bin
wget -O starship.tar.gz https://github.com/starship/starship/releases/download/v1.11.0/starship-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
tar xvf starship.tar.gz && rm starship.tar.gz

3. install fzf

!! do not update shell env during install

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git ~/.fzf -b 0.35.0
~/.fzf/install

4. fasd??

5. change shell to zsh

chsh $USER -s $(which zsh)

Using dotfiles.py

I created this simple script to simplify synchronization of deployed configurations with git repo. It copies (creates hard links) files to the directory and stages them to config file (dotfiles.yaml) by default. You can look at dotfiles.yaml to see what configs shared in this repo and how to deploy them.

Usage examples:

Deploy configurations

./dotfiles.py deploy --group some-app --copy-mode hard

This will deploy (via hard linking at this time) all tracked files under some-app group to their primary destination.

Add (track new file):

./dotfiles.py add ~/.some-app/config --group some-app --to some-app-configs

Will add the following to the dotfiles.yaml:

files:
  some-app:
    some-app-configs/config: ~/.some-app/config

And copy (by default creates hard link) ~/.some-app/config to some-app-configs/config

Synchronize configs (copy updated files to root dir)

./dotfiles.py sync 

Check whether files are updated

./dotfiles.py status --group some-app

Copy modes

You can control how to track/deploy new files via -m/--mode flag:

• hard: Will create hard-links. Prefer this method if source root and file are in the same filesystem.
• soft: Will create symlinks
• copy: Will use copy
• none: Use this mode (possibly with --verbose flag) to perform dry-runs (check what will happen)

Motivation for creating links instead of copying files is the following:

• Edit all dotfiles in single place (e.g. open dotfiles directory as workspace in VSCode)
• Automatically detect when will files change and track them in Git.
