Dotfiles managed by chezmoi, pass and reaver.
Only works on some Linux distro including:
ArchlinuxDebian, ... frozen from now, i don't recommend install my dotfiles on it, need motivation and time here...Gentoo, tested with systemd, musl (openrc) and/or binaries.Void Linux, tested on a clean install of the rootfs-glibc and rootfs-musl.
Why i use chezmoi?
- Even with GNU/Stow, i have to modify a lot of files each time i install/reinstall a new system, i start hating this !
- Template are great.
- Possibility of encrypt files.
- Install and updates are easy.

If need a new user (new system), create one:
useradd -m -s /bin/bash custom-username
passwd custom-username
Next, you need to install and configure sudo or doas, we need permission to install packages:
# EDITOR=vi visudo
custom-username ALL=(ALL) ALL
You need to install chezmoi and git.
With Gentoo:
# emerge -av dev-vcs/git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
With Arch:
# pacman -S chezmoi git vi
With Debian:
# apt-get install curl git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
For Voidlinux:
# xbps-install -S chezmoi git
Only 4 little steps here
$ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git
To test the ansible branch, (also look the branch for additionnal instructions)
$ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git --branch=ansible
Edit the config file with your favorite text editor.
$ EDITOR=vim chezmoi edit-config
You can change for example in [data]:
[data]
sound = "pulseaudio"
web = "librewolf"
It will install firefox rather than brave-bin and modify a lot of things during the install.
apply will install all the dependencies and add files to your $HOME.
$ chezmoi apply
If /tmp is protected with noexec, you need to tell chezmoi to use another dir
#1929
$ mkdir $HOME/tmp
$ TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp chezmoi apply
From time to time, start the update simply with:
$ chezmoi diff
$ chezmoi update
After the first install, if you need-want to use doomemacs, you have to finish the installation with a single command:
$ doom sync
If you have not yet configure X, change the keyboard layout like this:
$ localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts | grep fr
$ sudo localectl set-x11-keymap fr
