dotfiles

An attempt to manage my dotfiles across an axis of multiple machines and multiple distros.

requirements

xz   # To unpack nixos tarball
wget/curl
shasum/sha256sum/openssl

nix

$ nix-channel --update    # Update repos
$ nix-env -u '*'          # Update packages

void

Installing proprietary packages:

$ git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages packages --depth 1 --recursive
$ cd packages
$ echo XBPS_ALLOW_RESTRICTED=yes >> etc/conf
$ ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap
$ ./xbps-src clean
$ ./xbps-src pkg -f <pkg>
$ ./xbps-src install <pkg>
$ sudo xbps-install --repository=hostdir/binpkgs/nonfree <pkg>

tmux

Tmux usually has fucked up colours unless you compile the tmux-256color terminfo file in ~/.local/share/terminfo/t/tmux-256color.terminfo using tic <file>.

local config

git

Setup system local configuration in ~/.gitconfig-local such as user credentials or proxy configs on corporate networks.

ssh (with git)

Make sure to add public key to GitHub to allow pushing/pulling etc.

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"      # Optionally add to ssh-agent or just add to ssh config.
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

bash

There is a file ~/.bashrc-local for setting up system local settings and variables.

untrack local configs

It is probably best to untrack these files after making local alterations.

$ git update-index --skip-worktree .gitconfig-local   # From project root
$ git update-index --skip-worktree .bashrc-local 

gpg

Fix permissions of GPG directory:

$ chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg/
$ find ~/.gnupg -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
$ find ~/.gnupg -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
