emil4dinner's dotfiles

set-up history cache dir

NOTE: with this history can't be save >.<

mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/sh/

Dependencies

• git
• rcm dotfile manager

Structure

use rcm directories for certain contexts

• china / sweden for country specific dotfiles
• macOS / Ubuntu / WSL for OS specific dotfiles

tags mostly for language/utility scoping

hosts for different hosts

RCRC setup

• DOTFILES_DIRS: order-significant(!) OS and region
• EXCLUDES: all dirs/files that you don't want to symlink (tags and hosts are excluded by default)
• SYMLINK_DIRS: dirs/files to symlink e.g. git submodules
• TAGS: desired tags
• UNDOTTED: files to symlink but w/o dot prefix e.g. bin

Installation

(0. Backup current dotfiles to keep -- optional)

1. Clone dotfile repo into ~/.dotfiles

git clone --recursive https://github.com/emilrehnberg/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles

2. Run rcup

RCRC=~/.dotfiles/${HOSTNAME}/rcrc rcup

RCRC variable is needed if no .rcrc is available in the home directory

3. Download git submodules

git submodules init
git submodules update

Installation

See OS specific README

SSH

mkdir -p $HOME/.ssh
chmod 700 $HOME/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

• $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa – contains your private key.
• $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub – contain your public key.
• to push with SSH, make sure the remote set (.git/config) is using the SSH link (e.g. git@github.com:EmilRehnberg/dotfiles.git)

vi configuration

neovim is the preferred vi-like editor that I'm using.

see config/nvim/README.md for details.

To do

Think about installation instructions/scripts - where should they live?

• explain other installations for a new installation
  • utilities: Dropbox, Google Drive
  • misc: spotify, browsers, tex
