The repository keeps track of changes to the configuration on *nix operating system.
Following XDG Base Directory Specification, the configuration files are deployed in ~/.config to avoid polluting the user's home directory.
-
A Unix-like operating system. e.g., macOS and Linux
-
bash, git and curl should be installed
-
Internet connection
The install script checks the requirements above at startup, and will halt if any of these conditions are not met.
- Clone the repository
git clone --bare --depth=1 https://github.com/flyingice/.dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
alias dot='command git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
dot reset -- ~/tools && dot checkout -- ~/tools- Run the install script
~/tools/install.sh --releaseThe script fetches source code from Github by default. If Github is not accessible from
your region, pick a mirror site via --url and --url-raw options. For more information, run ~/tools/install.sh --help.
As an alternative, try to add the following configuration in /etc/hosts in case the DNS of Github is polluted.
20.205.243.166 github.com 185.199.108.133 raw.githubusercontent.comThe above mapping to the real IP address might not be valid anymore. Find the correct IP by running
dig +nostats @8.8.8.8 -t A github.com
I want to deploy the configuration for only one software package. e.g., Neovim
This could be done without executing the install script.
git clone --bare --depth=1 https://github.com/flyingice/.dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
alias dot='command git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
dot reset -- ~/.config/nvim && dot checkout -- ~/.config/nvimHowever, be cautious that some tools may not run properly without my zsh config. Take a look at those files in .config/zsh.
Alternatively, with zsh config installed, simply launch lazygit by running lg and checkout the corresponding config.
