This is my personal configuration and you may run the installation script at your own risk.

Docker is used to simulate the automated configuration on a new machine for testing purposes. Unfortunately, installing rust tools is very slow but required by neovim.

The goal of this repository is to automate the configuration of my machines with the following simple command dotfiles. On a fresh install, the repo should be cloned and the script in the bin folder can be executed to configure the environment. Rerunning the script again will update the configuration keeping packages on their latest release. Fedora is the preferred Linux distribution and more options will be added if I feel the need to distro-hop. Furthermore, adjustments to configurations can now happen in a single repository as opposed to configuring each individual machine.

Ansible is responsible for downloading, updating, and maintaining my chosen configuration files.

This repository uses stow to create symbolic links for all relevant configuration files or folders. If you wish to remove the symbolic links created by stow, execute the following command in your ~/.dotfiles directory:

stow -D .

├─ .config/         configuration settings
├─ bin/             build scripts
├─ roles/           tasks and related artifacts used by ansible-playbook

docker build -f Dockerfile.Fedora -t fedora-dotfiles .
docker run -it fedora-dotfiles

This automation works on Fedora and Macbook Pro M3! If another distro tickles my fancy I'll make the necessary adjustments.

Associative arrays appeared in Bash version 4. Use homebrew to install the latest Bash version and set it as your default shell. Apple Silicon machines have an older version of Bash and so the script will not work; upgrading to a newer Bash version is preferable either way.
