Dotfiles

There are my dotfiles. You are welcome to use them as a whole, or just take any parts that are helpful to you.

Bash

.bash_profile source .bashrc so .bashrc loads for all interactive shells. This will load bash-it and in turn source ./bash/combinedBash.bash which then sources everything under parts. In addition, any files (other than .keep) under ./custom will be sourced as well allowing sourcing custom files.

MYDOTFILES is exported from .bashrc as the root of the project (when the .bashrc is), this is used to find other files.

How to setup

I'm using the setup from https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles which allows cloning this repo into $HOME to automatically sync all files. I've included how to do this below (and to help me remember without having to re-read the article).

1. combinedBash.bash defines the alias to interact with the repo. It is also here for setup ease alias myconfig="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconfig/ --work-tree=$HOME". This assumes you clone into $HOME/.myconfig.
2. git clone --bare https://github.com/convergedtarkus/dotfiles.git $HOME/.myconfig
3. myconfig checkout
   • This will warn you about overwritting any files in this repo that are in your home directory. You should manually back these up.
   • myconfig checkout -f will overwrite everything.
4. This repo uses submodules for bash-it and vim plugins
   • myconfig submodule update --init
5. At this point restart you terminal
6. If using bash-it, enable the following things

bash-it enable alias personal
bash-it enable plugin alias-completion man
bash-it enable completion bash-it brew defaults git makefile system tmux

7. Restart the terminal again.
8. Run myconfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no to not show untracked files. Otherwise all files in your home directory will report when running git status. You will need to manually add new files to commit them to the repo.
   • Verify by running myconfig status and it doesn't report a ton of files.

Working with

Edit a tracked file and then use the myconfig alias to commit and push. If you need to integrate remote changes, you'll need to reclone unfortunately (if you've have a better solution I would love to hear it!).

Updating Bash-It submodule

1. Checkout my Bash-It fork
2. Pull in upstream master (that is https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it)
3. Push that up.
4. cd into .bash-it
5. git pull master
6. cd to root
7. Commit the .bash-it folder

Common Issues/Gotcha

Auth issues with submodules

• If you are me and use the kind of setup from clonePersonalRepo in bash/parts/git.bash, you'll need to change all the '[email protected]' urls to be '[email protected]'.

Bash-It Not Loading Personal Files

• Add a symlink under .bash-it/enabled/ to .bash-it/aliases/available/personal.bash and name it '150--personal.bash'.
  • This is how bash-it enables things and will enable loading the personal.bash file.
  • ln -s $HOME/.bash-it/aliases/available/personal.bash $HOME/.bash-it/enabled/150--personal.bash
    • The $HOME is very important as the symlink does not get created correctly otherwise.
