My dotfiles and OS setup

Intro

My repo to setup OS and dotfiles on Linux and MacOS

Requirements

• curl

MacOS

On MacOS make sure brew is installed

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)

In order to use encfs install osxFUSE first.

Install

Run initiation script

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shyd/dotfiles/main/run-once.sh)

Customizing

Save env vars, etc in a .extra file, that looks something like this:

###
### Git credentials
###

GH_USER="nickname"
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Your Name"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="email@you.com"

GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global github.user "$GH_USER"

Local configuration

To have an individual config for each device, create a .zshrc.localin your home.

VS Code remote launch

When deploying the dotfiles on a remote machine, you can link a script to launch new code windows if already connected.

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.local/bin/code ~/.local/bin/code

Usage

1. remote connect VS Code

2. in a ssh session type code <dir> to launch it in the existing remote session

Install a newer version of eza

As exa is not maintained anymore I switched to the fork eza.

See here eza-community/eza

Or install it with cargo.

To uninstall manually installed eza run sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/eza.

Install duf if you wish

Since duf is not available for all distros I use, just try the package manager if it's available.

Pretty git show with git-delta

This only works if git-delta is installed. You can use cargo to do so.

How to update the dotfiles and install new packages

Simply run

dotfiles-update

Encoding in Powershell

If there are encoding errors in Powershell when operating e.g. docker containers, install and use a Nerdfont like Hack Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible.
