Contains personal dotfiles for configuring various applications.
These files are managed by GNU stow; this creates system links in the correct location that point to the files in this repository. This allows all dotfiles to be tracked by a single repository, while being easily rolled out on a new machine
./config- config files installed by stow./config/common- files installed on all hosts./config/${name}- files installed on hosts with particular names
./setup- files for setting up a new debian machine
At first glance having CI for dotfiles may seem strange - however when we note that emacs is configured using a full Turing complete language it begins to make more sense. The idea here is to test that the config can be rolled out to a completely blank slate machine (like that provided by a continuous integration environment) in order to ensure the config does not rely on any custom human made changes to the system.
:TODO: can we test the other configs as well? Eg, check that programs can parse their .dotfiles
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 [email protected]:jnterry/dotfiles.git- Run
install.sh
