.files

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk.

It mainly targets macOS systems, but it works on at least Ubuntu as well.

Warning The Linux is not working in the moment, beacuse the $HOME will change to /root

Highlights

• Minimal efforts to install everything, using a Makefile
• Mostly based around Homebrew, Cask, ASDF, NPM, latest Bash + GNU Utils
• Fast and colored prompt
• Updated macOS defaults (Dock, Systen)
• The installation and runcom setup is tested on real Ubuntu and macOS machines using a GitHub Action
• Post install dotfiles command line to restall, update packages, etc.

Packages Overview

• Homebrew (packages: Brewfile)
• Homebrew Cask (packages: Caskfile)
• asdf (packages: .tool-versions)
• Vs Code (packages: VSCodefile)
• Latest Git, Bash 4, GNU coreutils, curl

Installation

On a sparkling fresh installation of macOS:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

The Xcode Command Line Tools includes git and make (not available on stock macOS). Now there are two options:

1. Install this repo with curl available:

bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ntsd/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

This will clone or download, this repo to ~/.dotfiles depending on the availability of git, curl or wget.

1. Alternatively, clone manually into the desired location:

git clone https://github.com/ntsd/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Use the Makefile to install everything listed above, and symlink runcom and config (using stow):

cd ~/.dotfiles
make

The dotfiles command

$ dotfiles help

Customize

You can put your custom settings, such as Git credentials in the system/.custom file which will be sourced from .bash_profile automatically. This file is in .gitignore.

Alternatively, you can have an additional, personal dotfiles repo at ~/.extra. The runcom .bash_profile sources all ~/.extra/*.sh files.
