home-files

==========

Files shared in all my home directories.

This project groups together the files which make life easier when using a

Linux-based system (desktop workstation, laptop, server, virtual machine...).

It contains the configuration settings of the software I use (shell, editors,

terminals...) and some scripts which are swiftly accessible from the command

line.

Directories

-----------

* ``bin/``: scripts which can make some tasks faster by being present in the

  ``$PATH``.  These scripts are installed as symlinks in ``$HOME/bin``.

* ``dotfiles/``: configuration files which are prefixed by a dot in ``$HOME``

  (to hide them in usual directory listings).  This includes settings for

  shells (bash, zsh...), git, vim, urxvt, python, etc.

* ``specific/``: configuration files which are really specific to some of my

  systems (for example there is a VLC addon to read YouTube playlists).

* ``tests/``: scripts which check the style of the files (PEP8-compliance of

  Python scripts, copyright information, etc.).

* ``xdgconfig/``: settings for Desktop Environments which do not use plain old

  text files.  These DE usually build a database and an provide an API which

  makes saving & restoring settings way harder than it has to be.  Nonetheless

  parts of such a task can be automated.

Some commands

-------------

* Install binary files in ``$HOME/bin`` and hidden files (in ``dotfiles``) in

  ``$HOME``, after validating the GnuPG signatures in the last git commits::

    ./install.sh

* Update the repository in a way more secure than ``git pull``, by verifying

  the GPG signature of incoming commits::

    ./update.sh

* Update MIME database after installation on a desktop system::

    cd ~/.local/share && update-mime-database mime

* Run various tests::

    ./run_tests
