Dotfiles

My personal dotfiles managed with GNU Stow.

Features

• Supports Linux and MacOS
• Supports multiple architectures
• Written in pure bash with no dependencies on external processes/programs (besides stow)
• Git submodule support

Quick Start

Install Dependencies

Linux

1. Install system packages

sudo ./setup.sh --system

3. Install user packages

./setup.sh

Advanced

Packages can be updated by passing --update. For example:

sudo ./setup.sh --system --update

Install Dotfiles

Simplified

Note: Piping curl to a shell is inherently dangerous. Only do so if you understand the risk.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egladman/dotfiles/master/install.sh | sh

Advanced

git clone --recursive [email protected]:egladman/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles; (cd ~/dotfiles; ./bin/sstow src)

Usage

Wrapper for GNU Stow to simplify cross-platform dotfile management
Usage: sstow [option] path/to/src

OPTIONS
   -h, --help                     Show this help text, and exit
   -V, --version                  Show version, and exit
   -S, --stow                     Stow dotfiles (this is the default action and can be omitted)
   -R, --restow                   Restow dotfiles (first unstow, then stow again). This is
                                  useful for pruning obsolete symlinks
   -D, --delete                   Unstow dotfiles
   -u, --dry-run                  Do not perform any operations that modify the filesystem; merely
                                  show what would happen.

Note: For the most up-to-date usage run ./bin/sstow --help
