.dotfiles

Configuration files for my development environment using neovim and tmux.

output.mp4

---

Currently managed in a bare git repo.

TLDR:

git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfig='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

---

Setting up a new machine:

# First install required applications!
alias dotfig='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
git clone --bare git@github.com:spenserlee/.dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
mkdir -p .config-backup && \
    dotfig checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
    xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
dotfig checkout
dotfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Due to bare repo, may require explicit git config for new branches:

$ cat .dotfiles/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = git@github.com:spenserlee/.dotfiles.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[status]
        showUntrackedFiles = no
[branch "main"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/main
[branch "work"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/work

TODO:

• Installation script for the required applications.
• Theme picker for night/day color schemes.
• Verify necessity of luarocks installation.
