Dotfiles

This is my @zcking collection of dotfiles for personal use.

Mainly managing here as a backup and to have an excuse to keep it organized, but feel free to reuse, share, etc. Just know that I won't be accepting any pull requests to this repo of course...

Setup

Easy, just clone and run the setup script with Bash.

git clone https://github.com/zcking/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

This will prompt for installing the various components under the install/ folder. You can skip the components you don't need, or easily add more by modifying the setup.sh script.

Usage

For normal day-to-day changes that you make to the dotfiles (e.g. ~/.zshrc, ~/.aliases, etc.) those will be automatically version controlled by your local copy of this Git repo.

This is because the bin/sync.sh script creates symlinks so for example, your normal ~/.zshrc file is actually a symlink to the ~/dotfiles/system/.zshrc file in the local repository.

If you make changes and want to commit those changes, simply go to your local copy of this Git repo and make commits.

Testing

I've developed and tested this code using a couple different methods:

  1. Running directly on host machine (risky rodger!)
  2. Running in Ubuntu Docker container (make test)
  3. Running in Kali Virtual machine (vagrant up)
