dotfiles

My dotfiles setup for bootstrapping machines.

Inspired by the dotfiles setup by Ben Selby

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/dmorand17/dotfiles.git
./install.sh

Customizing

The following files can be customized for local settings by creating another version with .local extension:

• .aliases
• .exports
• .functions

e.g. .aliases.local

Save exports, aliases, functions, etc in a .extra file. An example is below

###
### Git credentials
###

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Your Name"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"

Testing

Run test.sh to check for shellcheck errors

Building Image

docker build --build-arg SHA=$(curl -s 'https://api.github.com/repos/dmorand17/dotfiles-bare/git/refs/heads/master' | jq -r '.object.sha') -t dotfiles-test:latest .

# Or build using a specific branch
docker build --build-arg BRANCH=main --build-arg SHA=$(curl -s 'https://api.github.com/repos/dmorand17/dotfiles-bare/git/refs/heads/master' | jq -r '.object.sha') -t dotfiles-test:latest .

Running dotfiles-tester

docker run -it dotfiles-test /bin/bash

When necessary reload the shell via exec bash

Cleanup

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) docker image prune

Makefile

A docker image can be created to be used to test.

Command	Description
make -f Makefile-test test [BRANCH='branch']	Build an image. Default branch is main
make -f Makefile-test clean	clean any unused images/containers
