Dotfiles

Installation

Run the following command to install dotfiles from scratch:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nemexur/dotfiles/main/install.sh) "${HOME}/.dotfiles"

Additionally, the installation script has a dry-run option, which can be enabled by adding the -d/--dry-run option.

Components

The hierarchy is inspired by Holman's dotfiles repository. There are a few particular files in the hierarchy:

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will be added to your $PATH and be available everywhere.
• roles/: Ansible roles to install system configuration.
• tasks/: Special ansible-playbook scripts for system maintenance.
• vars/: Variables for tasks in ansible-playbook.
• tests/: In contains 2 folders: ci and vagrant. The first one is used for github-workflows. The second one is used for local testing with VirtualBox.
• files/{topic}/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
• files/{topic}/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
• files/{topic}/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
• files/{topic}/install.yaml: Any file named install.yaml is executed when you run dot installs. These are specific installation scripts for topics.
• files/{topic}/*.symlink: Any file ending in *.symlink gets symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run dot symlinks.
