These are my dotfiles. There is a python script that installs and backs up everything. Installation and backup steps work well, the rest is... eeeeh, it's a cruel world. They would "work" on Fedora+GNOME.
$ ./install.py
usage: install.py [-h] [-d] [-b] [-r] [-i] [-p] [-P]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --dry-run Perform dry-run
-D, --diff Diff dotfiles and exit
-r, --requirements Run requirement step
-p, --pre Run pre-install step
-i, --install Run install step
-P, --post Run post-install step
-b, --backup Backs up files
-q, --quiet Run with no output
-v, --verbose Verbose mode (logger DEBUG)
You can try the command using -d to perform a dry run
If you run with -b option all the others are ignored except for -d (the script will NOT complain about it).
You can run parts of the script individually. For example, if you already have all the dependencies installed you could just run
./install.py -piP
or
./install.py --pre --install --post
and just do the rest.
Backup dotfiles to the git directory (dry-run enabled to avoid ctrl+C, ctrl+V mistakes)
./install.py -db
Install dotfiles in the system (dry-run enabled to avoid ctrl+C, ctrl+V mistakes)
./install.py -di
Cool!
