README
Like many Unix hackers who move around from machine to machine I often
found I spent a lot of time messing around setting up my environment.
Eventually I moved all my dotfiles into version control and scripted
up some quick set-up instructions.
* Bootstrapping
This basically runs un-trusted shell script from the internet. You
shouldn't do it unless you are confident it won't hose your system. I
offer no such guarantees ;-)
#+name: How to bootstrap my set-up
#+begin_src sh
wget -O - https://raw.github.com/stsquad/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh | bash
#+end_src
* Layout
This repository contains "dotfiles" for bash and a whole bunch of
other bits and pieces. The script [[file:setup_dotfiles.sh][setup_dotfiles.sh]] will symlink all
the files in their correct place. Currently if you add new files it
needs to be re-run.
** Bash files
Each "dotbash_${FEATURE}" file is translated to ~/.bash_${FEATURE}.
The main [[file:dotbash_profile][.bash_profile]] code runs some basic tests to see if it's worth
loading the snippet:
#+name: Example feature check for loading dotbash_keys
#+begin_src sh
load_extra_module keys ssh-agent gpg-agent keychain
#+end_src
** ~/.config
Files in [[file:dotconfig/][dotconfig]] are treated the same although the sub-directory is
created for them by the setup script.
** Per-user or machine files
Sometimes you want to only have certain setups for different users or
machines. This is dealt with by pre-pending the dotfile with ${USER} or
${HOSTNAME}. Currently dotconfig directories are not supported.
* TODO Things I want to fixup one day [0/2]
** TODO Make .bash_profile search the repository
There is no reason the sub-modules couldn't be kept in a directory in
the repository to avoid cluttering up ~
** TODO Make the dotfiles work with zsh
In theory it should be compatible, I need to try this out.
