David Blume's dotfiles

These are some of David Blume's dot files to be installed in new user home directories.

Getting the project

You can get a copy of this project by clicking on the ZIP or TAR buttons near the top right of the GitList web page.

With an account, you can clone from the origin with:

git clone ssh://USERNAME@dlma.com/~/git/dotfiles.git

Installation

If you're not cloning the repo, then run the following:

~$ mkdir dotfiles
~$ cd dotfiles
dotfiles$ curl -L https://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git/tarball/main > dotfiles.tar
dotfiles$ tar -xvf dotfiles.tar
dotfiles$ rm dotfiles.tar

Then, when you run setup.sh, it'll backup your changed files to backup_of_dotfiles_<date> and replace them with the ones here. You can perform a dry run to see which files will be changed by passing the "-n" parameter.

dotfiles$ ./setup.sh -n

If you approve of the changes, then just run setup.sh

dotfiles$ ./setup.sh

Vim will work without warnings if you install ctags and cscope.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ctags cscope moreutils

sudo apt install python3-pip
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.in

What's not installed

  1. .dircolors (There are instructions in .bashrc to lighten the color of directories.)
  2. Private data like keys, get those from the USB4 bioport in the back of your neck.

Is it any good?
