dotfile

Very frustrating to switch working environments back and forth

Nothing Special, just a little scripts/macros but very handy and light-weight.

tips

linux> cd ~ && mkdir .dotfile && cd .dotfile
linux> git clone https://github.com/sycamoremoon/dotfile.git .

Better chose the blank branch, if you want to setup by yourself. Never mind to take a look of my ugly dotfiles.

sh_alias and setup.sh are the core, especially sh_alias. Source it and get two macros: dotlink and dotdiff:

linux> cd ~
linux> source .dotfile/sh_alias

• dotlink is used for moving your personal dotfile to .dotfile directory.

# For example to keep ".zshrc"
linux> dotlink .zshrc
Moved .zshrc to /home/hack/.dotfile/zshrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hack hack 25 Jan 13 01:59 /home/hack/.zshrc -> /home/hack/.dotfile/zshrc

# Another example to keep ".config/mutt/muttrc"
linux> dotlink .config/mutt/muttrc
Moved .config/mutt/muttrc to /home/hack/.dotfile/config/mutt/muttrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hack hack 38 Jan 13 02:01 /home/hack/.config/mutt/muttrc -> /home/hack/.dotfile/config/mutt/muttrc

• dotdiff is used for see conflicts when porting from machine A to B

# For example `dotlink .zshrc` failed
linux> dotdiff .zshrc

• Once you finished, record your settings to setup.sh for future using such as dotsetup zshrc,dotsetup config/mutt/muttrc. See linux branch's setup.sh for more examples.

# Next time just run script on other machines
linux> ./.dotfile/setup.sh
# if you are sure to overwrite the old dotfile
linux> ./.dotfile/setup.sh -f 

Have Fun!
