NOTE: You can get my other themes/styles for the Starship prompt here: gkuba/Starship-Config

Installation Info

Manual Installation and First-Time Setup

If you are setting this up for yourself you may want to just download or fork my repository and update line 22 of the script to your repository.

git clone --bare https://github.com/gkuba/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles

First Time Setup

We are using git bare repository to keep things clean

First Time Setup: - Only used once.

#Create your repo directory
git init --bare $HOME/dotfiles

# Set up the alias for working with your files in your .bashrc or .zshrc
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

# Restart your terminal session or rerun your shell of choice.
bash

# Set the config options.
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Basic usage example:

config add /path/to/file
config commit -m "A short message"
config push

Manual Installation

Cloning on another machine: - Every other time you set up. NOTE: Don't forget to change the repository below to your own.

# Create your repo directory
mkdir -p $HOME/dotfiles

# Clone the repository
git clone --bare https://github.com/gkuba/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles

# Checkout the files for the first time. Can't use config as the alias isn't currently set. 
# NOTE: this will fail if you have any of the same files in your home dir such as a .bashrc.
/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout

# Restart your terminal session or rerun your shell of choice.
bash

# Set the config options.
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Run ./dotfile_user.sh as your user to install the needed apps and clone the various repositories needed for vim and the Starship prompt.

NOTE: You may have to make dotfile_user.sh executable which can be done with this: chmod +x dotfile_user.sh
