Simplistic Dotfiles lets you manage your dotfiles in repository with some read-to-use scripts.
cd ~
git clone git@github.com:MagePsycho/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
Structure will look like:
.
├── .bash_aliases
├── .bash_profile
├── .bash_prompt
├── .bashrc
├── bin
│ └── mp
├── .composer
│ └── auth.json.dist
├── .config
│ └── terminator
│ └── config
├── .bash_exports
├── .gitconfig
├── .gitconfig.local.dist
├── .gitignore
├── .gitignore_global
├── .bash_local.dist
├── .my.cnf.dist
├── .mytop.dist
├── .bash_path.dist
├── scripts
│ └── dotfiler.sh
└── .ssh
├── config.dist
├── id_rsa.dist
└── id_rsa.pub.dist
Finally, install the dotfiles
chmod +x scripts/dotfiler.sh
# to check options
./scripts/dotfiler.sh --help
# to install
./scripts/dotfiler.sh --install
In your local machine, you might want to set some custom settings which you don't want to keep in repository.
Here we will highlight on local customizations.
~/.gitconfig.local
cd ~/dotfiles
cp .gitconfig.local.dist ~/.gitconfig.local
vi ~/.gitconfig.local
Here you can set git user config
[user]
email = magepsycho@gmail.com
name = Raj KB
To check all the available git configurations
git config --list
If ~/.bash_path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files.
You can use this file if you want to add your new path to the $PATH environment.
Here’s an example ~/.bash_path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Don't forget to reload the ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
~/.local
This file will be sourced at last if exists.
Here you can add custom commands without creating a new fork.
