# dots

Dotfiles managed by [chezmoi](https://www.chezmoi.io/) and [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/).  

Work only on distro linux including the installer: ( tested on a fresh install of Gentoo, Archlinux, Void and Debian )  

+ `emerge`: Gentoo, Pentoo, Funtoo.

+ `pacman`: Archlinux, Manjaro, Antergos, ArchBang,...

+ `apt-get`: Debian, Kali, etc...

+ `xbps-install`: Voidlinux. Tested on a clean install of the [rootfs-glibc](https://voidlinux.org/download/) and [rootfs-musl](https://voidlinux.org/download/).



Why i switch on chezmoi?

+ Even with GNU/Stow, i have to modify a lot of files each time i install/reinstall a new system, i start hating this !

+ Template are great.

+ Possibility of encrypt files.

+ Install and updates are easy.

## Requirements

You need to install [chezmoi](https://chezmoi.io) with additionnal packages (`sudo git vim`).  

With `emerge` (gentoo):



    # emerge -av sudo vim dev-vcs/git

    $ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh



With `pacman` (arch,...):



    # pacman -S chezmoi sudo vim git



With `apt-get` (debian,...)



    # apt-get install curl sudo vim git

    $ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh



For `Voidlinux`:



    # xbps-install -S chezmoi sudo git



`sudo`, your user should have permission to install packages:



    # EDITOR="vim" visudo

     ALL=(ALL) ALL



If you have create your first user recently (via: `useradd -m -G users,wheel,audio,video `), logout and back to initialize his environment correctly.

    

## Install

Only 4 little steps here



### Clone this repo



    $ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git



To test the ansible branch, (also look the branch for additionnal instructions)



    $ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git --guess-repo-url=false --branch=ansible



### Config

Edit the config file with your favorite text editor.



    $ EDITOR="vim" chezmoi edit-config



You can change for example in `[data]`:



    [data]

      sound = "pulseaudio"



It will install firefox rather than brave-bin and modify a lot of things during the install.  



### Apply

`apply` will install all the dependencies and add files to your $HOME.



    $ chezmoi apply



## Update

From time to time, start the update simply with:



    $ chezmoi diff

    $ chezmoi update



## Final settings

If you have not yet configure X, change the keyboard layout like this:



    $ localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts | grep fr

    $ sudo localectl set-x11-keymap fr



For emacs, when the installation is terminated, you have to manually install the package [all-the-icons](https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el#installing-fonts) like this, start `emacs` and:



    M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts
