Cătălin’s dotfiles

These are the base dotfiles that I start with when I set up a new environment. For more specific local needs I use the .local files described in the Local Settings section.

Setup

To set up the dotfiles just run the appropriate snippet in the terminal:

(:warning: DO NOT run the setup snippet if you do not fully understand what it does. Seriously, DON'T!)

OS	Snippet
`macOS`	`bash -c "$(curl -LsS https://raw.github.com/alrra/dotfiles/master/src/os/setup.sh)"`
`Ubuntu`	`bash -c "$(wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/alrra/dotfiles/master/src/os/setup.sh)"`

That's it! ✨

The setup process will:

Download the dotfiles on your computer (by default it will suggest ~/projects/dotfiles)
Create some additional directories
Symlink the git, shell, and vim files
Install applications / command-line tools for macOS / Ubuntu
Set custom macOS / Ubuntu preferences
Install vim plugins

Setup process in action:

Local Settings

The dotfiles can be easily extended to suit additional local requirements by using the following files:

`~/.bash.local`

The ~/.bash.local file it will be automatically sourced after all the other bash related files, thus, allowing its content to add to or overwrite the existing aliases, settings, PATH, etc.

Here is a very simple example of a ~/.bash.local file:

#!/bin/bash

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# Set local aliases.

alias starwars="telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl"

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# Set PATH additions.

PATH="$PATH:$HOME/projects/dotfiles/src/bin"

export PATH

`~/.gitconfig.local`

The ~/.gitconfig.local file it will be automatically included after the configurations from ~/.gitconfig, thus, allowing its content to overwrite or add to the existing git configurations.

Note: Use ~/.gitconfig.local to store sensitive information such as the git user credentials, e.g.:

[commit]

    # Sign commits using GPG.
    # https://help.github.com/articles/signing-commits-using-gpg/

    gpgsign = true


[user]

    name = Cătălin Mariș
    email = alrra@example.com
    signingkey = XXXXXXXX

`~/.vimrc.local`

The ~/.vimrc.local file it will be automatically sourced after ~/.vimrc, thus, allowing its content to add or overwrite the settings from ~/.vimrc.
