Dotfiles Starter Repository
A starter repository to get you started with `chezmoi` and your precious config
files on your system (dotfiles).
## How Does It Work?
This repository acts as a repository for [`chezmoi`](https://www.chezmoi.io).
The tool `chezmoi` manages your configuration files between a Git repo to your
`$HOME` directory (or somewhere else).
In this repo only `zsh` and `git` config files are managed for you as a starter
config. The ZSH setup is a nice structured setup which provides the basic.
The tool `chezmoi` default behavior works by first initiating it with
`chezmoi init ` which will clone the `` by default to
`~/.config/local/chezmoi`. Any `chezmoi apply` will take managed files in your
[`config`](./config) and apply it to your `$HOME` folder (if you made change for
any managed files in your home folder, `chezmoi` will prompt you to overwrite).
## Test Setup in Container
```shell
just test-in-container
# or with docker
just container_mgr=docker test-in-container
```
This will log you into ZSH in a container (to not mess with your system) to test
out the ZSH and Git settings and to get a look and feel of Chezmoi.
For the impatient do `just test-in-container --apply`, for the ones wanting a
follow through jump through the next sections.
### Initialize `chezmoi`
```shell
cd ~/workspace
chezmoi init ./
```
### Apply all Configuration Files
```
cd ~/.local/config/chezmoi
chezmoi apply
```
and inspect the changes with
```shell
tree ~/.config
```
### Login again into ZSH
```shell
zsh
```
Which will directly use all config files, install ZSH plugin on startup and
present you with a nice prompt like this:
```text
╭─ ~/.local/share/chezmoi on master ······························································································· impure
╰─❯
```
