# bootstrap dotfiles
This repository can bootstrap a different dotfiles source for Gitpod, even from private or custom Git servers.
Can be useful for working around [#14984](https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/14984). So for example, if you have a public or private repo hosted on Gitea or elsewhere, you could bootstrap into that through this.
# Initial setup
Depending on the **Git provider** you have connected on https://gitpod.io/user/integrations, you will need to clone this repo in that Git server and then set the **Dotfile > Repository URL** to that in https://gitpod.io/user/preferences. For example, if you have Gitlab connected and you cloned this repo into `https://gitlab.com/you/repo.git`, you will use that URL as your dotfiles in https://gitpod.io/user/preferences
# A public repo
- Go to https://gitpod.io/user/variables and click on `New Variable`
- Create a new variable with the following:
- Name: `DOTFILES_BOOTSTRAP_LINK`
- Value:
The target dotfiles you want to install, for example:
```
https://gitpod:[email protected]/you/actual_dotfiles_repo.git
```
- Scope: `*/*`
# A private repo
- Go to https://gitpod.io/user/variables and click on `New Variable`
- Create a new variable with the following values:
- Name: `DOTFILES_BOOTSTRAP_LINK`
- Value:
The target dotfiles you want to install, for example:
```
https://auth_user:[email protected]/you/actual_dotfiles_repo.git
```
- Scope: `*/*`
