Awesome
dots
Dotfiles managed by chezmoi and pass.
Work only on distro linux including the installer: ( tested on a fresh install of Gentoo, Archlinux, Void and Debian )
emerge: Gentoo, Pentoo, Funtoo.pacman: Archlinux, Manjaro, Antergos, ArchBang,...apt-get: Debian, Kali, etc...xbps-install: Voidlinux. Tested on a clean install of the rootfs-glibc and rootfs-musl.
Why i switch on chezmoi?
- Even with GNU/Stow, i have to modify a lot of files each time i install/reinstall a new system, i start hating this !
- Template are great.
- Possibility of encrypt files.
- Install and updates are easy.

With pacman (arch,...):
# pacman -S chezmoi sudo vim git
With apt-get (debian,...)
# apt-get install curl sudo vim git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
For Voidlinux:
# xbps-install -S chezmoi sudo git

Install
Only 4 little steps here
Clone this repo
$ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git
To test the ansible branch, (also look the branch for additionnal instructions)
$ chezmoi init https://github.com/szorfein/dots.git --guess-repo-url=false --branch=ansible
Config
Edit the config file with your favorite text editor.
$ EDITOR="vim" chezmoi edit-config
You can change for example in [data]:
[data]
sound = "pulseaudio"
It will install firefox rather than brave-bin and modify a lot of things during the install.

apply will install all the dependencies and add files to your $HOME.
$ chezmoi apply
Update
From time to time, start the update simply with:
$ chezmoi diff
$ chezmoi update
Final settings
If you have not yet configure X, change the keyboard layout like this:
$ localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts | grep fr
$ sudo localectl set-x11-keymap fr
For emacs, when the installation is terminated, you have to manually install the package all-the-icons like this, start emacs and:
M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts
