Managing dotfiles

[chopfitzroy]

Rough steps

• vcsh init dotfiles
• vcsh write-gitignore dotfiles
• nano ~/.gitignore.d/dotfiles (Update with below content)
• vcsh dotfiles add ~/
• vcsh dotfiles commit -m "Init"
• vcsh dotfiles remote add origin [email protected]:chopfitzroy/dotfiles.git
• vcsh dotfiles push -u origin master

Basic ignore file

# Ignore everything in `~/`
*

# Track the file we are currently editing
!/.gitignore.d
!/.gitignore.d/dotfiles

# ZSH config
!/.zshrc

# Get into config dir
!/.config


# Helix modal editor
!/.config/helix
!/.config/helix/*

# Starship ZSH prompt
!/.config/starship.toml

Musing

• It might be worth using myrepos simply because it allows multiple configs i.e config-personal-gitconfig and config-work-gitconfig.
• Talk about possibly using fish and why starship.rs enables this and how it differs from things like oh-my-zsh.
