dotfile bros:
-what GUI?
Chezmoi my beloved
Oooo.. new toy..
Meanwhile i'm using my own silly bash script to symlink all my dotfiles from my repo ๐ฟ
Yeah, and then you start to configure any edge case, and then youโre basically already at the point where chezmoi would be useful. Lol, Iโve been there
Could you give an example of that? Cause i'm kinda curious. I have used home manager before when i was using nixos, but when i left i went back to using my script. It was kinda annoying to me how home manager was much slower.
Server (Linux) and personal machine (non-Linux Macbook) with the same general shell config (aliases etc.), but different applications/CLI tools installed.
No idea how it compares against the Nix paradigms, but I like the ease of use in setting up a new machine. Itโll copy all files to their intended destinations and will be able to fill in credentials from templates using e.g.
rbw(third-party Bitwarden, i.e. password manager, CLI tool), meaning, once all fields have been templated, you can make it public without even worrying about leaking a personal email address (I use different ones for git vs. other accounts vs. even other stuff).Mine uses special folders for 'all' or 'user', and different folders for symlinking entire folders or single files so the scripts can tell the difference. Had no idea this existed. Thanks!
