So if you're me and you already trust this script and know what it does then this may be the way to go.
zsh -c "$(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grymoire7/dotfiles/master/home/bin/machine_up)"I'm currently using homeshick to manage my dotfiles and symlinks. I switched from homesick for fewer dependencies (ie. just bash/zsh and git).
See the homeshick docs for more details. In particular, I skip the step of adding a line to source homeschick.sh to my .bashrc/.zshrc file since it's already there.
# Grab homeshick
git clone [email protected]:andsens/homeshick.git $HOME/.homesick/repos/homeshick
# Source it into the current shell
source "$HOME/.homesick/repos/homeshick/homeshick.sh"
# grab this repo of dotfiles
homeshick clone grymoire7/dotfiles
# Setup the links, starting with this
homeshick -s linkIf any of the dotfiles already existed, the ones in this repo will not be
linked. Now is the time to check that out, remove files as need and run the
homeshick -s link command again.
Finally, clone any local castle (for .bashrc.local, etc.) and link again.
This is an interactive script that may ask whether you'd like to install/configure various things. It does some things without asking, so you might want to check it out before running it for the first time.
bin/machine_upA recurring theme in these dotfiles is the inclusion of a .local version of
the config file, if present, at the end of the config file here. This is to
accomodate those configuration details that may be different on your different
machines. Files that adhere to this philosophy inlude .bashrc, .gitconfig,
.tmux.conf and .vimrc. For me, these .local files are often tracked
in another repo, for example a corporate repo at work or just a local git repo
at home.
