# Dotify
|
|
|
|
Setup your dotfiles like a sane person. With a Dotfile:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ackrc -> .ackrc
|
|
gitconfig -> .gitconfig
|
|
tmux.conf -> .tmux.conf
|
|
|
|
if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
|
|
powconfig -> .powconfig
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Dotfiles are basically fancy bash shell scripts which are executed via Dotify.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
Let's say you've got a git repo somewhere in which you keep your dotfiles.
|
|
And lets say that repo looks something like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
├── dotify
|
|
├── Dotfile
|
|
├── hosts
|
|
│ └── mordor
|
|
│ ├── Dotfile
|
|
│ └── gitconfig
|
|
├── irbrc
|
|
└── tmux.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `dotify` file is Dotify's main executable, which is a small self-contained
|
|
bash script. It doesn't need to be included in your dotfiles, but it doesn't
|
|
hurt.
|
|
|
|
The `Dotfile` in the root looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
irbrc -> .irbrc
|
|
tmux.conf -> .tmux.conf
|
|
|
|
if [ -f "hosts/$(hostname)/Dotfile" ]; then
|
|
include "hosts/$(hostname)"
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And `hosts/mordor/Dotfile` like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gitconfig -> .gitconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
Now let's say your machine's hostname is `mordor`, and you've cloned your
|
|
dotfiles repo to `~/src/dotfiles`. If you were to cd into your dotfiles and
|
|
run `./dotify install`, you'll end up with a home folder like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
├── .dotfiles -> /home/jimeh/src/dotfiles
|
|
├── .gitconfig -> .dotfiles/hosts/mordor/gitconfig
|
|
├── .irbrc -> .dotfiles/irbrc
|
|
├── .tmux.conf -> .dotfiles/tmux.conf
|
|
└── src
|
|
```
