My Dotfiles

I've recently switched to managing my dotfiles with Chezmoi. This is still very much an experiment to see how I like it.

Installation

1. Install 1Password
2. Active 1Password SSH Agent (Settings>Developer>Use the SSH Agent)
3. sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply dom-tc This may require running twice if git isn't already installed.

Configuration

By default, the configuration is set via prompts on the command line.

If you'd like to run a non-interactive version set DF_NON_INTERACTIVE to true.

You can then set the following environment variables to adjust what tools will be installed.

• DF_DEV_COMPUTER
• DF_SOUND_COMPUTER
• DF_PERSONAL_COMPUTER
• DF_SERVER
• DF_PERSONAL_EMAIL

To Do

• Consider asdf-direnv
• Move to XDG_BASE_DIR - See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory
• Prettify script output - See: https://github.com/natelandau/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfiles/.chezmoitemplates/shared_script_utils.bash
• Activate tailscale
• Install Applications
  • VectorWorks
  • DVS
  • Dante Controller
  • WWB
  • CleanShot X
  • Smaart
  • IP Scanner
  • Wifi Scanner Pro
  • Hazel
  • Teams
• Setup Mail Accounts
• Create VS Code extension to automatacially update list when extensions are installed
• Pass password into scripts to avoid repeat password requests?
• Temp install git to avoid erroring while waiting for XCode tooling to install?
• Post install steps?
  • Any manual steps that need completing
  • Log into accounts
  • Activate Safari extensions
  • etc.
• Switch to promptBoolOnce to avoid repeat questions on init
  • Had an issue with either the prompt not being called if you pre-set the variables
  • But if you didn't, and only set them within the if block, the data section was erroring as unassigned
• Install fonts
  • JetBrains Mono NL https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts?tab=readme-ov-file#option-2-homebrew-fonts
  • DinPRO
  • Equity etc.
