~/.dotfiles

Various dotfiles managed with GNU/Stow

About

I'm a backend Ruby/Rails developer and as such this repo will largely be related to my workflow around those tools. Ruby, Rails, Docker, and git to name a few.

It's pretty opinionated as this is the actual dot files that I use on a day to day basis.

PRs are welcome but not all will be accepted for the same reasons as above.

Setup

Install GNU/Stow with your favourite package manger

yay -S stow

dnf install stow

apt-get install stow

brew install stow

Clone the repo

git clone [email protected]:rmcfadzean/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles && cd $_

Run stow [package] for each package you want to install. For example to install the ruby dots you would use

stow ruby

Packages

Ruby

Hasn't been updated in awhile

• gem doesn't install docs by default
• rails new uses sane defaults
  • Postgres

  • No TestUnit because we prefer RSpec
• A ~/.ruby-version using the latest Ruby (Read by chruby/auto.sh and other ruby version managers)
• Includes chruby & ruby-install with zplug magic

Node.js

• Use FNM to manage node versions (Works with .node-version and .nvmrc files and faster than NVM!)
