dotfiles ~/.*

My very personal setup for *nix systems.

Introduction

This dotfiles repository is meant to setup almost my whole environment on a new machine in just a few command lines.

It does not only include my settings files, but also scripts to install all applications I use on each operating systems.

Prequesites

curl and git are required.

ruby and Xcode are also required on OS X (installing just the Xcode Command Line Tools is not sufficient).

The Linux installation script works in fact only for Debian family distributions (it uses apt). For complete packages installation under Debian, user has to be rootor a sudoer.

Installation

Complete setup

The entire process can be done automatically with :

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ylasnier/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh | sh

In this way, the repository will be cloned in the $HOME/.dotfiles directory. You can also specify a destination in argument :

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ylasnier/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh | sh -s /your/dest/path

All applications specified for the running OS will be installed and symbolic links to each dotfiles will be created in the home directory.

Step-by-step

Clone the repository

git clone --recursive http://github.ansamb.com/yves/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

Links

./install -c linux/install.conf.yaml  # or osx/install.conf.yaml
./install -c common/install.conf.yaml

Packages

Debian

sudo ./linux/install-packages
./common/install-packages

OS X

./osx/install-packages
./common/install-packages

How it works

Dotfiles bootstrapping are powered by anishathalye/dotbot. Dotbot create symlinks to dotfiles regarding configuration files. For dotfiles that are common to Linux and OS X, checkout common/install.conf.yaml. For dotfiles and dotbot configuration specific to each system, checkout linux/install.conf.yaml or osx/install.conf.yaml directories.

Applications installation for each system are just simple scripts I wrote specifically to each package managers I use (checkout linux/install-packages for apt, osx/install-packages for brew, and common/install-packages for any package involving other common ways of installation, such as npm packages).

Maintenance

As I think dotfiles are very personal, I designed this dotfiles to correspond to my very own configuration and I will maintain it regarding my needs.

But hey, it's open source ! Feel free to take as much inspirations as you want and to re-use it at your convenience.
