# dotfiles
|
|
|
|
## Some explanations
|
|
|
|
I was so bored of having a "Git project" into my `$HOME/` directory, so this is the workaround from now :
|
|
|
|
* The `.dotfiles/` folder you see above **is** in the `$HOME/` directory
|
|
|
|
* It contains `.git`'s internals, as long as `LICENSE` and `README.md` files
|
|
|
|
* With the procedure below, we are able to set the Git working tree elsewhere than its original location (`~/.dotfiles/`)
|
|
|
|
This "method" is a very good compromise to **avoid** :
|
|
|
|
1. Git _bare_ folder solutions
|
|
|
|
2. Dot files aliases directly set in `$HOME/` directory
|
|
|
|
3. A non-versioning setup, 'cause Git is a pain to use ~~in such conditions~~
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Each step is commented and has been tested many times :wink:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install concerned packages :
|
|
apt install zsh fzf git git-lfs terminator nano htop neofetch
|
|
|
|
# Install required dependencies :
|
|
apt install rsync fonts-powerline
|
|
# ... and then (manually) install :
|
|
# * MesloNLG Nerd Font : <https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k> (copy .TTF files under /usr/share/fonts/truetype/meslo/ if you don't have a tool to install them automatically)
|
|
# * Archey 4 : <https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4/releases>
|
|
# * Bat : <https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/releases>
|
|
# * PrettyPing : <https://github.com/denilsonsa/prettyping>
|
|
# * Sublime Text : <https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html#apt>
|
|
|
|
# Move to your home directory
|
|
# Don't worry, it'll stay clean afterwards !
|
|
cd
|
|
|
|
# Fetch this repository
|
|
git clone https://git.forestier.app/HorlogeSkynet/dotfiles.git
|
|
|
|
# We'll need this to match hidden files...
|
|
shopt -s dotglob
|
|
|
|
# Let's move out all of its content
|
|
rsync -ar --remove-source-files dotfiles/ ./
|
|
# ... but care : Git's internals have to be ELSEWHERE !
|
|
mv .git/ .dotfiles/
|
|
|
|
# We won't need it anymore...
|
|
rm -rf dotfiles/
|
|
|
|
# Let's go inside this hidden folder 😨
|
|
cd .dotfiles/
|
|
|
|
# Let's tweak Git configuration just a bit
|
|
git config --local core.worktree ../..
|
|
git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
|
|
|
|
# Verify that everything is correct
|
|
git status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Working with this configuration
|
|
|
|
In order to commit some modifications, just go to `~/.dotfiles`, and act like it was a "regular Git project".
|
|
For instance, to add new dot files, run something like :
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git add ../.<dot_file_name>
|
|
git commit #...
|
|
```
