Dotfiles managed by chezmoi, pass and reaver.
Work only on few distro linux including Gentoo, Archlinux, Void and Debian. It
should not work on distro variant...
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.

You need to install chezmoi with sudo or doas and additionnal packages (git vim).
With Gentoo:
# emerge -av sudo vim dev-vcs/git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
With Archlinux:
# pacman -S chezmoi sudo vim git
With Debian:
# apt-get install curl sudo vim git
$ curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io | sh
For Voidlinux:
# xbps-install -S chezmoi sudo git
Configure sudo or doas, your user should have permission to install packages:
# EDITOR="vim" visudo
<username> ALL=(ALL) ALL
If you have create your first user recently (via: useradd -m -s /bin/bash <username>), logout and back to initialize his environment correctly.
Only 4 little steps here
$ 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 --branch=ansible
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
If /tmp is protected with noexec, you need to tell chezmoi to use another dir
#1929
$ mkdir $HOME/tmp
$ TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp chezmoi apply
From time to time, start the update simply with:
$ chezmoi diff
$ chezmoi update
After the first install, if you need-want to use doomemacs, you have to finish the installation with a single command:
$ doom sync
$ emacs
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
For any questions, comments, feedback or issues, submit a new issue.
Any support are greatly appreciated, star the repo, offer me a coffee... thanks you!
