dotfiles

setup steps

get files locally

Assuming we are in our user's home directory

cd ~

1. cloning repo

git clone --bare https://github.com/jesse-rb/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

2. for now, set alias to checkout repo, this line is also present in .zshrc for later

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

3. checkout main branch

dotfiles checkout

4. hide untracked files for dotfiles bare repo

dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

At this point all dotfiles should already be in place :D, no need to mv or cp things around (hopefully?)

install basics

5. The available scripts are more for a list of commands for reference, there are additional steps in between such as sourcing .zshrc, restarting terminal etc.

note Sourcing .zshrc might complain with warnings until some things referenced in the install scripts have been installed

e.g. cat ~/scripts/ubuntu-install.sh or cat ~/scripts/macos-install.sh
