/dotfiles

My Dotfiles — Unix style configuration and associated miscellanea

usage

see harfangk bare dotfiles for some more info, but the basic idea is to clone the appropriate repo into a "bare" repository:

git clone --bare github.com:smason/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles --branch wayland
git --dir-dir ~/.dotfiles --work-tree ~ checkout

this should include a special script called config (in .local/bin) to invoke git with the appropriate flags to make invoking the above easy. I'd suggest using it immediately by doing:

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

to prevent git from telling you that everything needs to be added. later on you can commit changes with:

config add -p
config commit

branches

  • wayland is current; Linux with Wayland for graphics
  • xorg is my older X11 based setup
  • osx has some Apple stuff

copying terminfo

I have a habit of using obscure terminals that don't exist on remote systems. I also tend to forget how to copy this across to other systems, here's what to do:

infocmp | ssh $HOST tic -x -
