# dotfiles
This is a collection of dotfiles that should make your day to day work easier, if you see any errors or wish to contribute feel free to fork, open an issue
or send a pull request.
## Dependencies
We try to keep dependencies to a minimum and let you sort them out yourself, whether you prefer homebrew or your OS package manager the choice is yours
to make, the only three dependecies are:
1. `curl`
1. `git`
1. `node`
## Install
We try to keep installing as simple as possible by keeping the steps to a minimum and our dotfiles as backward compatible across the couple of OS we use
the most.
### Online installer
You can run the installer using curl:
`curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloverinteractive/dotfiles/master/install | bash`
Check our [developers](#developers) section of this README to learn how to run the installer in a virtual machine.
### Github checkout
You can fork or clone this repository manually and run the installer locally:
```bash
# We like to keep dotfiles somewhere in $HOME but you can clone anywhere you have permission to
git clone https://github.com/cloverinteractive/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install -s
```
### Advanced (not recommended)
Since we're using stow to manage the dotfiles under the hood, you can skip the installer and just stow files directly like
this, however depending on your system configuration you will need to set the directory and target manually, we've tried
to make things xdg compliant but cannot guarantee that will be the case if things are stowed manually:
```bash
cd .dotfiles
stow -d .config/bash -t .config
```
When doing this keep in mind that uninstalling can also get tricky and you'll need to remember how you linked your configs.
## Uninstall
To uninstall you can do `stow -D .` from your `.dotifles` directory and that will unlink all the files from that directory.
## Commands that will make this enjoyable
These dotfiles include configuration tweaks for:
* ack
* bash
* cava
* dunst
* git
* i3
* kitty
* mpd
* ncmpcpp
* nvim
* pg (postgresql)
* picom
* ranger
* tmux
* X11
* xmobar
* xmonad
To get most of these dotfiles we recommend installing these packages
## Developers
We try to make development as simple as possible for [ourselves](https://github.com/cloverinteractive/dotfiles/graphs/contributors), therefore we've added
in a `Dockerfile` and a `Containerfile` for running our scripts in an OCI container.
If you wish to see how these dotfiles look/feel without installing them in your system or you wisht to contribute please consider installing
[podman](https://podman.io/getting-started/installation) or [docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and giving this a try:
```bash
# Podman instructions
podman build . -t dotfiles # Will build a OCI container image this may take a couple of minutes
podman run --rm -it dotfiles # This will put you in the containers command prompt
# Docker instructions
docker build . -t dotfiles # Will build a OCI image this may take a couple of minutes
docker run --rm -it dotfiles # This will put you in the containers command prompt
```
Once in the container you'll have your current branch of dotfiles installed, if you need to install anything the test user in the container has `sudo.
We try to keep both the `Containerfile` and `Dockerfile` pretty light, only installing the bare minimum and anything else that's needed and not readily
available in the container's distro package manager; the idea is to not add too many dependencies in order to ensure fast build times.
As you can see podman's CLI is compatible with docker's, we recommend podman over docker for two main reasons:
1. it's daemonless
1. it's rootles
You can install podman and add an alias like `alias docker=podman` and you won't have to build new muscle memory to get started.
### Shells
At the moment we only add files for `bash` and `zsh` to keep things compatible with macs, if you'd like to
start your docker container with zsh just specify it as the run command like so:
```bash
docker run --rm -it dotfiles zsh
```
The same aliases, env vars and, prompt and paths should be set as bash if you'd like to inspect those files
they live under `.config/posix-shell`
## Issues
These dotfiles are still in the works and are not perfect, feel free to advise, fork and send your pull requests.
