Supported Operating Systems

Tested and tuned on these operating systems:

• OS X Catalina
• Ubuntu 20.04 Server

Installation

Yadm will git stash your existing dotfiles before overwriting them. You can always run yadm stash show -p to access and restore your dotfiles.

Ubuntu 20.04:

  apt install yadm &&
  yadm clone https://github.com/TimSpence/dotfiles.git

OS X Catalina:

brew install yadm &&
  yadm clone https://github.com/TimSpence/dotfiles.git

After installation, bootstrap with this command to enable the basic features:

.config/yadm/bootstrap --minimal

Alternatively, bootstrap with this command to enable everything:

.config/yadm/bootstrap --all

Testing

I like using containers--Docker or LXC--for testing so I don't spend all my time fixing bare metal.

Dockerfile inspired by zinit-configs.

This is in progress, but here are the steps:

mkdir some-temp-dir
# copy Dockerfile and dotfiles to a temp dir

docker build --build-arg TERM="${TERM}" --build-arg user=me --tag dotfile-tester path-to-temp-dir

docker run -ti --rm dotfile-tester env TERM="${TERM}" zsh -i -l
