My dotfiles

On September 21, 2021 I cleaned up and migrated my dotfiles to use chezmoi. It better handles multi-machine settings, secret files, supports encryption and custom templates.

Useful commands to remember

  • chezmoi cd: spawn a new shell and change to source directory
  • chezmoi edit <file>: edit a file with the configured editor from the source dir
  • chezmoi edit-config: edit the ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml (this file is not managed/uploaded to GitHub)
  • chezmoi add <file>: add a new file/folder
  • chezmoi apply: apply the source dir state to the target dir (default is $HOME)
  • chezmoi apply --refresh-externals: apply the source state by updating any external file or folder configured in .chezmoiexternal.toml

Installing chezmoi

  • One-liner for a single binary install: sh -c "$(curl -fsLS git.io/chezmoi)" or sh -c "$(wget -qO - git.io/chezmoi)"
  • Package manager install:
    • macOS: brew install chezmoi
    • Void Linux: xbps-install -S chezmoi
    • Ubuntu or other Linux distro, via Linuxbrew: brew install chezmoi

New machine setup

  • chezmoi init edoardob90: to initialize the local source state from the default repo
  • chezmoi init --apply edoardob90: init & apply the source state

Update (i.e., git pull)

chezmoi update

TODO

I still have to include in the new repo:

  • Automatic installation of essential pkgs on both Linux and macOS (Brew/Linuxbrew or package manager) → done by saving a Brewfile
  • SSH public keys → almost done with Bitwarden cli and a shell script, but it needs proper testing!
