My Dotfiles

This repo is for tracking my dotfiles. It currently contains the following:

• Ansible Scripts (for quickly installing and configuring software on a new computer)
• Bash Config Scripts
• Git Configs
• Vim/Nvim Config

Config files are managed through GNU Stow.

Dockerfile and Makefile are included so I can test this setup easily.

Prerequisites

• Machine has docker installed
• Machine has make installed

For a Personal Machine

• Primary user account is named benjamin

For a Work Machine

• Right now, the ansible script escalates privileges to while running. Manually delete the line become: true if running on a mac computer.

Testing with Docker

Obviously you'll need docker installed. Then, follow the below instructions:

1. build the docker container by running docker build .
2. get the container ID by running docker images
3. run the container using docker run -i -v ${PWD}:/home/ubuntu/dot_files -t <CONTAINER_ID> /bin/bash
4. navigate to /home/ubuntu/dot_files in the container and execute ansible-playbook desktop_config.yml

Per-Machine Configuration

I have made this possible in the following ways:

• for Z-Shell:
  • put config in ~/local.zsh
• for Git:
  • if on a work machine, put config in ~/work/.gitconfig
  • if on a personal machine, set up name and email in ~/.identityconfig
• for Neovim:
  • put local plugin config in nvim/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/local.lua

TODOs

• Automate creating folder structure for TPM
• Automate installation of rust for HTMX LSP
• Add ~/.config/i3/config
• Add ~/.config/i3blocks/
• Automate creation of ~/.identityconfig with git name + email
• Pull dependencies from Snap instead of APT
• Refactor custom nvim commands to use Lua instead of Vimscript
• automate install of docker-compose
• Rename ubuntu script
• Set up ranger config
