Mike Kasberg's Dotfiles

Managed with chezmoi ❤️

Setup dotfiles on a new machine

1. (Optional) Install Bitwarden and login if you plan to install secrets.

   Linux

   sudo snap install bw
   bw login
   

   macOS

   curl -o ~/bin/bw.zip -L 'https://vault.bitwarden.com/download/?app=cli&platform=macos'
   unzip -d ~/bin ~/bin/bw.zip && rm ~/bin/bw.zip
   bw login
   

2. Install chezmoi to ~/bin and install dotfiles to ~/dotfiles.

   sh -c "$(curl -fsLS git.io/chezmoi)" -- -b "$HOME/bin" init --apply -S ~/dotfiles mkasberg
   

Done! To keep up to date in the future:

Start Your Own Dotfiles

Want to use Chezmoi to manage your own dotfiles? The best way to get started is to follow the Chezmoi Quick Start Guide to start tracking your first dotfile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.gitconfig are great files to start with). Beyond that, I hope you can find some inspiration by looking at my dotfiles and copying things you like!

Testing

Want to test a fresh install on a new machine? A dev container in Docker is great for this because it comes with a non-root user. Use the Docker command below to get into a fresh, disposable testing environment, then run the installation steps from above.

docker run --rm -it --user vscode --workdir /home/vscode mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu

For convenience, ./test.sh use the above to install dotfiles from the current working directory and drop you into a prompt.
