# lytedev's dotfiles
|
|
|
|
My various configuration files. I can't recommend using them directly, just
|
|
take what you like.

# Basic Setup
|
|
|
|
curl -LO lyte.dev/df.sh && sh -i df.sh
|
|
|
|
## Manual Setup
|
|
|
|
git clone https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/dotfiles.git "$HOME/.config/lytedev-dotfiles"
|
|
"$HOME/.config/lytedev-dotfiles/common/bin/dotfiles-setup"
|
|
|
|
# Repo Structure
|
|
|
|
My dotfiles are composed together by layering "environments" since I want my dotfiles to be flexible across servers, laptops, desktops, and even my phone (via Termux).
|
|
|
|
lytedev-dotfiles
|
|
|- common --- common to all hosts and operating systems
|
|
| |- bin ------- programs or scripts useful to all hosts/OSs
|
|
| |- data ------ shared storage for certain scripts
|
|
| `- {app...} -- configuration related to {app}
|
|
|- host ----- specific to specific hosts or types of hosts
|
|
| |- desktop --- for desktop-class machines
|
|
| |- headless -- for server-class machines with no display/GUI
|
|
| `- laptop ---- for portable, battery-having machines
|
|
`- os ------- specific to operating systems
|
|
|- linux ----- you alread know <3
|
|
| |- desktop ------ for desktop-class machines
|
|
| |- headless ----- for server-class machines with no display/GUI
|
|
| |- bin ---------- programs/scripts useful to linux machines
|
|
| |- {distro...} -- configuration related to {distro}
|
|
| `- {app...} ----- linux-specific configuration related to {app}
|
|
`- macos ----- for those stupid macbooks work tries to make you use
|
|
|
|
Any environment should be able to extend the configuration of any application
|
|
in some unique way. This isn't possible with all applications, of course, since
|
|
some programs do not make it easy (or possible) to include multiple
|
|
configuration files or to extend a single file by having it include others via
|
|
globs or some other mechanism.
|
|
|
|
One example of doing this well is with fish:
|
|
|
|
for s in $ENV_PATH/*/config.d.fish; source $s (dirname $s); end
|
|
|
|
This way, if any environment (a dir in $ENV_PATH) has a `config.f.fish` script
|
|
inside, it will be sourced by the main configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Likewise, some setup only happens in certain environments via the
|
|
`dotfiles-setup.d.fish` script.
|
|
|
|
One important note on environments is that even though they are laid out like
|
|
a tree (directories), you do NOT automatically get the parent-environment's
|
|
configuration, so if you are setting up a Arch Linux desktop machine, you
|
|
cannot only link the `os/linux/arch` and `host/desktop` environments but will
|
|
also need to include `os/linux` if you want the Linux-generic configuration.
|
|
|
|
# Post-Setup
|
|
|
|
You will want to symlink relevant environment layers into the `$ENV_PATH` in
|
|
order to have your OS-specific applications be configured and common
|
|
applications configured for the host OS.
|
|
|
|
There's a handy `fzf`-based script that makes this super easy (note that you
|
|
can select multiple environments with TAB):
|
|
|
|
dotfiles-link-environments
|
|
|
|
You can also list the possible environments:
|
|
|
|
cat $DOTFILES_PATH/common/envs
|
|
|
|
And then link them yourself (note that environments must be in $ENV_PATH and
|
|
cannot be nested, so replacing slashes with dashes is a nice way to show what's
|
|
going on):
|
|
|
|
ln -s (pwd)/os/linux $ENV_PATH/os-linux
|
|
ln -s (pwd)/os/linux/arch $ENV_PATH/os-linux-arch
|
|
ln -s (pwd)/host/laptop $ENV_PATH/host-laptop
|
|
ln -s (pwd)/host/laptop/third $ENV_PATH/os-laptop-third
|
|
# etc...
|
|
|
|
And run setup again once you've finished linking all related environments:
|
|
|
|
dotfiles-setup
|
|
|
|
# Updating
|
|
|
|
Fork this repo, update your origin to point to your fork, and commit changes:
|
|
|
|
git remote origin set-url $YOUR_REPO
|
|
|
|
Then you can just pull your changes down from wherever.
|
|
|
|
## No I want your updates
|
|
|
|
You don't. I rip and tear my dotfiles all the time and will break your entire
|
|
machine. Remember about not using other people's dotfiles directly?
|
|
|
|
But if you must, you can add an upstream remote to point to my repo:
|
|
|
|
git remote add upstream https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/dotfiles.git
|
|
|
|
Then you can fetch and merge in my changes whenever you want:
|
|
|
|
git fetch upstream
|
|
git merge upstream/master
|
