Dotfiles

This repository contains useful (config) files that I use on my machines.

Initialization

On a freshly set up machine, run:

curl https://gitlab.webartifex.biz/alexander/dotfiles/-/raw/main/.config/shell/init_dotfiles.sh \
     > /tmp/init_dotfiles.sh \
  && source /tmp/init_dotfiles.sh \
  && rm /tmp/init_dotfiles.sh

This gives you a local copy of the latest version of this repository (located in ~/.dotfiles) and initializes all the dotfiles provided here on your system. Furthermore, zsh is set up with oh-my-zsh and zplug.

Note: Log out and in again so that bash and zsh run as login shells. Otherwise, ~/.profile is probably not sourced.

Don't worry: Your current dotfiles are backed up in the ~/.dotfiles.bak folder!

Python Development Environments

The develop environments for Python are managed by pyenv.

To set them up, run:

install-pyenv && create-or-update-python-envs

Several Python binaries are installed. Additionally, two virtualenvs, "interactive" and "utils", are also created:

  • "interactive" is the default environment with no libraries installed, and
  • "utils" hosts globally available utilities.

Use pyenv local ... to specify a particular Python binary for a project.

Non-public Dotfiles

After setting up the Python environments (i.e., the "utils"), running mackup restore symlinks further dotfiles into ~/. This only works for this project's maintainer.
