For the purpose of standardizing my shells across a variety of machines, it turns out to be easiest to just keep my dotfiles in git.

cd ~
git clone [email protected]:coriolinus/dotfiles.git
ln -f ~/dotfiles/.profile .profile
ln -f ~/dotfiles/.bash_profile .bash_profile
ln -f ~/dotfiles/.bashrc .bashrc

On unixy systems, we can automatically connect to Boxcryptor.

• Ensure that Dropbox is syncing or linked to ~/Dropbox

• Ensure that there is an empty directory at ~/Boxcryptor

• Install necessary tooling:

  sudo apt install encfs libsecret-tools

• Add the boxcryptor password to the keyring:

  secret-tool store --label='Personal Boxcryptor' boxcryptor personal

  This will present a password prompt; enter the boxcryptor password, not the system password.

Boxcryptor will then automatically mount when the profile is sourced.

Ubuntu has a nice clip command which doesn't work by default on WSL. There's a shim to make it work in this repo:

mkdir -p ~/bin
ln -f ~/dotfiles/bin/clip ~/bin/clip
