Michael's dotfiles

I am using chezmoi to manage my dotfiles in WSL.

Installation

Install chezmoi with additional packages:

pacman -S chezmoi sudo git vim bitwarden-cli keychain

Initialize chezmoi with this dotfiles repo.

chezmoi init https://github.com/michaelvdnest/dotfiles.git

Show a quick summary of the what files would change.

chezmoi status

Install dependencies and add files to your $HOME.

chezmoi apply -v

Update machine

Pull the latest changes from your remote repo and run chezmoi apply.

chezmoi update -v

Using Bitwarden to store the SSH keys

Store the public key

The public key can just stored as a normal in chezmoi.

> chezmoi add .ssh/id_rsa.pub

Store the private key

> bw login <EMAIL-ADDRESS>
> bw unlock
> export BW_SESSION="<SESSION-ID>"

Store the SSH key in a secure note in Bitwarden.

SECRET_NAME=id_rsa
SECRET_PATH=~/.ssh/id_rsa
echo "{\"organizationId\":null,\"folderId\":null,\"type\":2,\"name\":\"${SECRET_NAME}\",\"notes\":\"$(sed -e ':a' -e 'N' -e '$!ba' -e 's/\n/\\\\n/g' ${SECRET_PATH})\",\"favorite\":false,\"fields\":[],\"login\":null,\"secureNote\":{\"type\":0},\"card\":null,\"identity\":null}"
bw sync #optional

Retrieve the private key

Create a file in your chezmoi repo at this location: private_dot_ssh/private_id_rsa.tmpl and add this as the contents.

{{ (bitwarden "item" "sshkey").notes }}

This file needs a new line character at the end.

Status

This is still very much a work in progress.

Warning: I don't recommend that you give these dotfiles a try. However, if you want to give it a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

You can look into the following repo's if you want to try a dotfiles repo as a base:

A list of items I'm thinking of adding to my config.

Use gpg for github instead of keychain
