.dotfiles

My configuration files contained in a bare git repo inspired by:

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles

TLDR:

git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfig='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

New machine:

alias dotfig='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
git clone --bare git@github.com:spenserlee/.dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
mkdir -p .config-backup && \
    dotfig checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
    xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
dotfig checkout
dotfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
dotfig fetch origin '*:*' # fetch remote branches

Installation

This should just be a script, but for now:

• git

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
git config --global core.editor "nvim"
git config --global commit.verbose true
git config --global alias.hs "log --pretty='%C(Yellow)%h  %C(reset)%ad (%C(Green)%cr%C(reset))%x09 %C(Blue)%an: %C(reset)%s' --date=short"

# setup global pre-commit for nocheckin
# https://gist.github.com/xezrunner/e6dbafcc21fcbc976c93bdee0f371a08
mkdir ~/.git-core-hooks
git config --global core.hooksPath ~/.git-core-hooks

• tmux

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

• fd

sudo apt install fd-find
ln -s $(which fdfind) ~/.local/bin/fd

cd neovim/
git checkout stable
sudo apt-get install ninja-build gettext cmake unzip curl
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
