Dotfiles

Overview

These are my dotfiles and automated system setup scripts. Come in, take a load off, have a look around.

Installation

Clone the repo and ensure submodules are fetched as well.

$ git clone https://github.com/aravinda0/dotfiles --recurse-submodules

Switch to the setup directory and run the install script.

$ cd setup/
$ python install.py

To [re]install specific things:

$ python install.py tmux nvim zsh

To [re]install only the tool, without any configuration:

$ python install.py -t tmux

To [re]install only the config files, without the tool:

$ python install.py -c zsh

To see what is available for installation:

$ python install.py --help

Discovery

• For a setup element to be discovered, it must be placed in the setup/discoverable directory.
• Each item there is a directory named after the tool, containing an install.py module. eg. discoverable/my_tool/install.py.
• The module can define two optional functions:
  • install_tools()
  • install_config()
• The above configuration would allow us to run:

  $ python install.py my_tool
