Personal dotfiles

Jerry's dotfiles

These dotfiles are managed using chezmoi.

Upon fresh installation, the run_once_install-packages.sh (idempotent and POSIX compliant) script would be executed once.

What I use

Getting started

Check out the Quick Start page.

Install chezmoi and the dotfiles on any new machine

With a single command:

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS chezmoi.io/get)" -- init --apply ngshiheng

Update

On any machine, you can pull and apply the latest changes from your repo with:

chezmoi update -v

Prompts

For managing machine-to-machine differences.

To add/remove/edit prompts:

vim ~/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoi.toml.tmpl

To test templates, use chezmoi execute-template < dot_gitconfig.tmpl (ref).

run_once_install-packages.sh script

The run_once_install-packages.sh script runs with the following assumptions (i.e. requirements):

• bash is installed; this is so that it can install Homebrew.
• zsh as the default Unix shell of choice.
