Linux Configuration Files

My framework for my configuration/dot files.

Setup

  • Install Nix
  • Make sure these programs are installed:
    • Zsh
    • GnuPG
    • xclip (optional?)
    • git
    • Ex: sudo apt install zsh gnupg xclip git
  • Create a /data directory (TODO: Ability to have it somewhere else?)
    • sudo mkdir /data
    • sudo chown $USER:$USER /data
  • Place/clone this repository at /data/configuration.
    • git clone https://github.com/iguessthislldo/configuration
  • nix-env -if default.nix (TODO: use better way to do this)
  • git submodule init && git submodule update
  • bash install_data.sh to do the initial setup, clearing existing default stuff in the home directory and repeating the command as necessary until it's able to finish.
  • Set Zsh as the default shell, for example: chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh
  • At this point now or later we can either run zsh manually or relogin to have it take its place as the default shell.
  • If copying from an existing /data on a source system:
    • To copy files using SSH:
      • Make sure an SSH server is installed and running on the source system.
      • Run bash install_data.sh import HOST where HOST on the destination system.
    • To copy files manually:
      • Run bash install_data.sh export on the source system.
      • Copy /data/configuration/export.txz to /data/export.txz on the destination system.
      • Run bash install_data.sh import on destination system.
    • bash install_data.sh one final time to have it take up the imported files.
  • Set terminal font if desired.
  • Run (cd ~/cfg/git && bash setup.sh) to setup Git.
  • Run scripts in misc-setup as needed.

      • bin
      • fonts
      • ssh
      • vim
      • git
      • tmux

rrun

Recursively check the current directory and all of its parents for a file with an execute permission on it and executes it.

args

Usage: args [ARGS...]
