dotfiles

This repository provides my dotfiles and system setup.

Note: Some things are still a bit weird. Check the issue tracker for known issues.

Installation

In order to install do:

git clone https://github.com/scflode/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
# Adapt stuff as needed (and create a fresh Git repo maybe)
./setup

Be sure you checked and adapted the scripts for your needs.

Architecture

Quickly iterated the architecture consists of:

• system setup scripts
• the dotfiles
• update functionality for all dependencies
• setups are bundled by tools or language to switch and swap easily

The basic architecture is pretty OS agnostic. Currently the macOS is
the main system that is supported but a Linux version will come as well.

Some features are:

• idempotency for running scripts multiple times without destroying something
• modularity to allow easy removal of chunks not wanted

What is used?

macOS

In order to leverage the latest and greatest versions of CLI tools there
are the following two players involved:

• (Homebrew)[https://brew.sh]
• (asdf)[https://asdf-vm.com]

Homebrew is used to install

• lower level system tools (overriding outdated versions of macOS)
• applications via cask

asdf is used to install:

• programming languages
• tools that need versioning

Common

The setup contains configuration for

• neovim
• tmux
• zsh

Sources

Of course the files themselves depend on a lot of work of different people.

Some mentions go to:

• https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles for the macOS part

And of course all the others I learned from but can’t name anymore.

Also a big shoutout to the maintainers, developer and inventors of all the
stuff I use.
