dotfiles

A Space for all of my configs.

What do i need?

BASIC

• [x] git
• [x] bash

EXTENDED

• [x] powerline
• [x] fish
• [x] toolbox

Optional

• [x] fortune & cowsay
• [x] thefuck
• [x] touchegg

Init

Source gist:ed1us3r/init-dots.sh

(
  dots() { git -C $HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME $@; };
  export dots &&
  cd ~ &&
  git clone --bare https://github.com/ed1us3r/dotfiles .dotfiles &&
  dots config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no &&
  dots reset --hard &&
  echo "Init Complete" &&
  bash -i source ~/.bash_profile
)

Init - Manually

At the core of it all, is an alias in my .zshrc/.bashrc:

alias dots="git -C $HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME"

I have a script that automates install, but it can be manually installed with:

cd ~
git clone --bare https://github.com/<my-git-acc>/dotfiles .dotfiles
dots config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
dots reset --hard

So my home directory is basically a git repo, but to avoid tools getting confused, I renamed .git to .dotfiles
