Dotfiles

My personal dotfiles! I use fling to manage most app configs.

Install/Symlink

fling --ignore 'README.*' --src-dir <dirname> link

fling will prompt before symlinking

Uninstall/Unlink

fling --ignore 'README.*' --src-dir <dirname> unlink

fling will prompt before unlinking

Apps that cannot be installed with fling

• vscode has an install script in the subfolder

Add a flingable config to the repo

• make a directory with the name of an app
• mirror app config's file structure from ~ into ./<app>/, replacing leading . with dot-. For example, if your app's config is stored at ~/.myapp/config, then make ./dot-myapp/config

Notes

Why store config per app rather than per platform?

• I can easily see which apps have configs stored in this repo
• I want to target which configs are deployed
• Most of my work is on Mac, not the various Linux distros I used to play with

The cat commands need to quote 'EOF' to not expand variables. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/27921346/2958070
