lytedev's dotfiles

My various configuration files. I can't recommend using them directly, just take what you like.

Basic Setup

curl -Ss https://lyte.dev/df.sh | sh

I don't like curl ... | sh

Clone the repo:

git clone https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/dotfiles.git "$HOME/.config/lytedev-dotfiles"

Inspect and run the common (no macOS- or Linux-specific configuration) setup fish script:

$EDITOR "$HOME/.config/lytedev-dotfiles/common/bin/dotfiles-setup"
"$HOME/.config/lytedev-dotfiles/common/bin/dotfiles-setup"

Advanced 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:

dotfiles-link-environments # note that you can select multiple with TAB

You can also list the possible environments:

cat $DOTFILES_PATH/common/envs

And then link them yourself (note the replacing of slashes with dashes):

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

To Do

• Home DNS/Wireguard VPN?
• Layered gitconfig?
• Get out of Google!
  • calcurse for Calendar management?
  • aerc or neomutt for email?
  • My home-grown backup network for Drive?
  • Photos?
• Learn to use journalctl
• Neovim LSP
• Move to NixOS or Guix? Declarative may be the future...?
• Better/more secure remote management configuration?
  • Why can't I hold all these SSH keys/configs/target hosts?
• Setup network file share that's easily accessible from Windows and macOS hosts?
  • Samba?
• Add vim in the terminal as the handler for many MIME types (xdg-open and such) for the rare time I'm in a file manager or for opening easily from the browser.
  • This goes for navigating "into" a file in nnn
• Investigate systemd services that may help with various tasks (homed, etc.)
