⚠️ The only one I’d recommend out of the list for a beginner is Dotbot There are a variety of fantastic tools to track dotfile history, syncing, and anything else you can think of at If you want to have a better understanding of what is happening under the hood, try Option B. , since it eschews most of the complexity of other dotfiles systems. No need to set up a complex syncing tool if you end up ignoring your dotfiles after you finish setting them up. start a Git repo, I prefer to have all my files in the repo without the dot so it’s more obvious when tracking in Git and also won’t overwrite anything on accident., or document the command, for symlinking The real file to the dotfiles version, e.g. ln -s ~/dotfiles/bash_profile ~/.bash_profile. You’re off to the races! My best advice is to not try to collect everything at once or you’ll end up with a pile of stuff you don’t need. Let it evolve with you over time rather than aiming for perfection out of the gate. #DOTBOT WOW FULL#įavorite TweaksĪre full of tidbits I’ve stumbled on, so I pulled out the best pieces for you. Probably the most generally useful tweak I have is fleshing out the prompt with more information. Mine includes the time it ran, the current working directory, Git branch & status, and last exit code. The exit code has saved me in a surprising number of situations from deeper debugging. If you want to expand on the git_dirty status indicator, you can read here Local status=$(git status -porcelain 2> /dev/null) If branch=$(git rev-parse -abbrev-ref HEAD 2> /dev/null) then # Git Aware Prompt - shamelessly stolen from #DOTBOT WOW CODE#
DOTBOT ADD FILE HOW TO
How to make a fancy one with different shapes & colors indicating different statuses you rely on. Aliases lessen how much I have to type and also do the remembering of common args I need.
