dotfiles

Requirements

• Git needs to be installed
• Currently the pluggin portion of the .vimrc throws an error on startup but works in neovim (needs to be sourced from init.vim) so neovim is required for smooth/full operation.

Setting up

Setup environment

Apply the following alias in the current session (will be added to .bash_aliases by the repo):

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

Before cloning prevent the git repo from seeing itself

echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore

Install the repo

Get an ssh key (if you don't already have one) and clone the repo

git clone --bare [email protected]:j-ace-svg/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg

If you can't obtain an ssh key, use https to clone the repo

git clone --bare https://github.com/j-ace-svg/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg

Get the config files from the repo into your home directory

config checkout

If an error is thrown regarding config files that will be overwritten, you can append the command with a -f to overwrite them or use the following command to move them to a backup folder first (then rerun the checkout)

mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}

Post-installation setup

Hide git from complaining about untracked files

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Installation scripts

Cloning but not editing (non developer)

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
git clone --bare https://github.com/j-ace-svg/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
config checkout
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Development (requires preset ssh key)

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
git clone --bare [email protected]:j-ace-svg/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
config checkout
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
