# My dotfile manager
This repo gathers:
- my collection of [configuration files](http://dotfiles.github.io/),
- the setup files to install all programs I need,
- the setup script.
## Some words about what I needed
I've got a set of configuration files to deploy when configuring a new computer. Some of them are the same whatever the conputer (*e.g.* vim, git, compton, ...), but some are host-specific.
Concerning host-specific files, what I whant is to build the final file to be deployed based on three files:
- a *prefix-file* common to all hosts,
- a *middle-file* depending on the host,
- a *post-file* common to all hosts.
Both *prefix-file* and *post-file* are optional (in case none of them are used, the whole file is host-specific).
## How it works
The dotfile manager is based on [GNU stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/).
Each folder located in `config` (compton, git, ...) is *an application*.
The applications are divided into those:
- to be deployed for all users (root included),
- to be deployed for non-root-user only.
This is defined in `setup.sh`.
When deploying an application - let's say i3 -, the application arborescence
```bash
~/.dotfiles/config/i3
└── .config
└── i3
```
is copied into the home directory.
```bash
~
└── .config
└── i3
```
Then, all application files are linked into the home directory arborescence
```bash
~/.config/i3/config -> ~/.dotfiles/config/i3/config
~/.config/i3/lock.sh -> ~/.dotfiles/config/i3/lock.sh
```
## Usage
Install the dependencies.
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install stow
```
Pull the repository.
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/etienne-monier/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
$ cd $HOME/.dotfiles
```
Configure the applications to be installed for all users / non-root users in `setup.sh`.
```bash
# Applications for all users (incl. root).
base=(
'zsh'
'vim'
)
# Applications for non-root users.
useronly=(
'git'
'i3'
'compton'
'matplotlib'
'polybar'
'rofi'
'sublime-text'
'ipython'
'vim'
'latexmk'
'texstudio'
)
```
Deploy the applications using the `setup.sh` script.
```bash
$ chmod +x setup.sh
$ ./setup.sh
```
