Set up any new (virtual) machine using a profile in one line. Share profiles between multiple machines. Configure auto update, clean-up, and back-up. Works for all linux flavors, Mac OS, and Windows.\n\nAll installation and backup scripts require you to pass a profile name as their first argument. If you provide no profile name to a script, they'll use the default `personal` profile.\n\nExample use:\n```sh\n# Set up your new machine quickly using a profile\ninstall.sh \u003cprofile-name\u003e\n# Assume you're customising your installation here by installing new packages, editing shell configuration, etc\nbackup.sh \u003cprofile-name\u003e\n# Now if you're working on your own fork, you can commit this profile and later use it to set up new machines or make reinstallations way easier!\n```\n\n## Getting Started\n\nTo simplify instructions, the paths provided in this README are for macOS scripts. However, these all have their counterparts for other OSs. You just need to replace the `macos` part with `linux` or `windows`, or `unix` part with `windows`. Sometimes additional minor changes to the path are required as well but it should all be clear and intuitive.\n\n### Creating a Profile\n\nFirst, fork this repository and clone it on your machine. Then:\n\n```sh\n\u003cproject-dir\u003e/scripts/unix/backup.sh \u003cprofile-name\u003e\n```\n\nThis will back-up your packages, apps, and configurations to the profile you've given - `personal` if left blank. Creating the profile as necessary if it doesn't exist.\n\n### Installing a Profile\n\nThe following steps assume that you are doing the setup on a freshly formatted computer. Therefore you don't even have your SSH keys or anything set up.\n\nOpen the Terminal app and enter the commands below.\n\n```sh\nmkdir ~/projects\ncd ~/projects\n# It's recommended to use your own fork so you can commit your profile changes later on.\ngit clone https://github.com/isair/dotfiles.git\ncd dotfiles\n```\n\nIf your setup does not come with `git`, download this project from its GitHub page instead. Later on, the profile you install will most likely have `git`.\n\nBefore typing the following line, make sure you check the various profiles under the `profiles` directory and pick one that suits your needs.\n\n```sh\n./scripts/macos/install.sh \u003cprofile-name\u003e\n```\n\n## Automating Backup, Cleanup \u0026 Updates\n\nOne way to automate backup and cleanup is to add cron jobs for these scripts.\n\n```sh\ncrontab -e\n```\n\nAppend the following line, changing the path as necessary.\n```sh\n0 15 * * * ~/projects/dotfiles/scripts/unix/backup.sh \u003cprofile-name\u003e\n```\n\nThis will update your package list but you'll still need to commit and push yourself, or write a script for it.\n\n```sh\nsudo crontab -e\n```\n\nAppend the following line, changing the path again as needed.\n```sh\n00 8 * * * /home/owner/projects/dotfiles/scripts/unix/update.sh\n00 9 * * * /home/owner/projects/dotfiles/scripts/unix/cleanup.sh\n```\n\nYour computer will now update everything and clean-up disk space in the morning. At 15:00, it will do backups.\n\n## Sharing Profiles Between Machines\n\nAll dot files are symlinked to your project clone directory. The update script is also responsible for `git pull`ing any changes made to the repo. Therefore, if you have set up automatic updates as mentioned in the previous section, all you need to do is `git push` your changes! Any machine installed using the same profile will automatically get them when their update script runs again.\n\n## Supported Package Managers\n\nThe back-up scripts support the following package managers.\n\n### OS X\n\n- brew\n- brew cask\n- npm\n- pip\n\n### Linux\n\n- brew\n- apt\n- snap\n- npm\n- pip\n\n### Windows\n\n- scoop\n\n## Backed-up Configurations\n\n- bash\n- zshell\n- profile\n- hyper.js\n- vim\n- ssh\n\n## Development\n\nCommit scopes:\n- profiles\n- scripts\n- repo\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fisair%2Fdotfiles","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fisair%2Fdotfiles","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fisair%2Fdotfiles/lists"}
