dotbot-ifarch

Conditional execution of dotbot directives based on the local architecture with thanks to dotbot-ifplatform.

Prerequisites

This plugin requires dotbot to be installed.

Installation

1. Run git submodule add https://github.com/ryansch/dotbot-ifarch.git
2. Run git submodule update --init --recursive
3. Pass in the CLI argument --plugin-dir dotbot-ifarch when executing the dotbot executable.

Usage

Add the if<arch> directive to the dotbot YAML file to conditionally execute the directives. For example:

- ifaarch64:
    - shell:
        - echo Raspberry pi?

- ifarm64:
    - shell:
        - echo Apple Silicon?

- ifx86_64:
    - shell:
        - echo Intel/AMD

Details

The plugin queries the local architecture using the platform module which uses uname -m. Acceptable values of <arch> in the if<arch> directive are shown below:

• aarch64
• arm64
• armv7l
• x86_64
