Setups and configures various dotfiles, installs packages, and configures the host machine. This repo strives to be as declarative and idempotent as possible while keeping configurations up-to-date and in sync across many different hosts.
To facilitate these goals, this repo uses chezmoi and ansible.
You need to create a chezmoi config file under the XDG Base Directory. For
macOS, that would be: ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml Chezmoi supports
different file formats,
but I currently use TOML.
My config file for chezmoi is pretty simple. There are a few unique components related to GPG encryption support for chezmoi. (NOTE: replace the example email address with the correct email address used for the GPG keys)
encryption = "gpg"
pager = "delta"
[edit]
command = "nvim"
[gpg]
symmetric = false
recipient = "[email protected]"
[pinentry]
command = "pinentry"
[data]
system = "personal"
email_work = "[email protected]"
email_personal = "[email protected]"
ghuser = "wrightbradley"
hwkey = "0xABCDEF1234567XYZ"With this config in place, you can then install chezmoi and use your GitHub dotfiles repo to bootstrap a new machine:
# To bootstrap chezmoi and run ansible:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wrightbradley/dotfiles/refs/heads/main/ansible/bootstrap.sh | GITHUB_USERNAME=wrightbradley bash
# To bootstrap chezmoi without ansible:
sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --exclude=encrypted --apply $GITHUB_USERNAME- Hook Ansible into chezmoi bootstrap step
- Identify how to install homebrew-less casks: ATEM Mini Pro, Akai Professional MPK Mini III Program Editor, MPK mini Software Manager
- Generate inventory file for Ansible
