dotfiles

The sweet sweet home of my lovely dotfiles 🍯

How to configure

You may or may not notice that there are some variables %variable% in some dotfiles. For example, in zshrc:

$ export GITREPO="%gitrepo%"

Because some settings can be different on different machines (directories, shortcuts, term colors...). To make it more flexible, the value of variable can be defined in a yaml file, the format looks like:

<filename1>:
  <variable1>: <value1>
  <variable2>: <value2>

<filename2>:
  <variable1>: <value1>
  <variable2>: <value2>

For example, in dotfile-config.yaml:

zshrc:
  gitrepo: \/home\/kevinthebest\/git
  comment: ''
  othersource: ~\/.czshrc

i3wm/config:
  comment: ''

How to build

  • Build all files in <yaml_config_file>:
$ ./build.sh <yaml_config_file>; source ~/.zshrc

The final files will be generated in output folder. Pay attention to create symbol links to the target files in output folder.

  • Build only certain files in <yaml_config_file>:
$ ./build.sh <yaml_config_file> 'Xresources i3wm/config'; source ~/.zshrc
