# Dotbot `pacaur` Plugin

Plugin for [dotbot](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) that adds a `pacaur` directive. It installs [official](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/) and [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/) packages on Arch Linux with [`pacaur`](https://github.com/E5ten/pacaur).

This plugin will also attempt to install `pacaur` if not already installed which should make it easier when setting up a new computer.

## Installation

1. Add `dotbot-pacaur` as a submodule of your dotfiles.

    ```sh

    git submodule add https://github.com/ajlende/dotbot-pacaur

    ```

2. Add the `pacaur` directive to your `install.conf.yaml`.

    ```yaml

    - pacaur:

      - zsh

      - neovim

      - atom-editor-bin

      - gitkraken

    ```

3. Edit your `install` script to enable `dotbot-pacaur` plugin by modifying the last line with the `-p` option shown below.

    ```sh

    "${BASEDIR}/${DOTBOT_DIR}/${DOTBOT_BIN}" -d "${BASEDIR}" -c "${CONFIG}" \

      -p "${BASEDIR}/dotbot-pacaur/pacaur.py" "${@}"

    ```

## Other Usages

### Run Separately

If you want to run `dotbot-pacaur` separately from your main configuration, you can do so with the `-p` option and a `packages.conf.yaml` configuration that contains only the `pacaur` section from your `install.conf.yaml`.

```sh

dotbot/bin/dotbot -p dotbot-pacaur/pacaur.py -c packages.conf.yaml

```

### Alternative Directive Name

If you want to separate your official packages from your AUR packages, you can put them in a directive named `pacman`. Both directives are functionally the same (everything still gets installed with `pacaur`), but this may allow you to organize things a little more.

```yaml

- pacman:

  - zsh

  - neovim

- pacaur:

  - atom-editor-bin

  - gitkraken

```

## Basic Example

```sh

# ./install

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

CONFIG="install.conf.yaml"

DOTBOT_DIR="dotbot"

DOTBOT_BIN="bin/dotbot"

BASEDIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"

cd "${BASEDIR}"

(cd "${DOTBOT_DIR}" && git submodule update --init --recursive)

"${BASEDIR}/${DOTBOT_DIR}/${DOTBOT_BIN}" -d "${BASEDIR}" -c "${CONFIG}" "${@}"

```

```yaml

# ./install.conf.yaml

- defaults:

    link:

      relink: true

- clean: ['~']

- link:

    ~/.dotfiles: ''

    ~/.tmux.conf: tmux.conf

    ~/.vim: vim

    ~/.vimrc: vimrc

- shell:

  - [git submodule update --init --recursive, Installing submodules]

- pacaur:

  - zsh

  - neovim

  - atom-editor-bin

  - gitkraken

```

## Advanced Example

[My own dotfiles configuration](https://github.com/ajlende/dotfiles/tree/3f47be1e2ad898047644ebc39b2364cac50f2be8) shows an example of a more advanced usage, splitting up different sections into different files and swapping `dotbot-pacaur` for `dotbot-brew` on MacOS.
