# Henrik's dotfiles
[![MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg)](./LICENSE)

My dotfiles. Fuel for my madness. Designed for MacOS, Arch Linux and
the various debian-based boxes I frequently ssh into.
It is organized into topics, some with their own READMEs. Check them out for
more targeted information. The `./boostrap` script is used to install and update
them.
## Bootstrap
`bootstrap` is my idempotent dotfile deployment script. This is how it works:
You pass the directories of "topics" you want to install and it will:
1. symlink `$topic/bin/*` to `~/.bin/`
2. symlink `$topic/.*` to `~/` _and_ `$topic/.*/*` to `~/.$1/` (i.e. 2-level
symlinking). e.g. `os/arch/.Xresources` will be symlinked to
`~/.Xresources`, and `os/arch/.config/redshift.conf` will be symlinked to
`~/.config/redshift.conf` (`~/.config` is not a symlink).
3. run `$topic/install` the first time
4. run `$topic/update` on consecutive runs
5. symlink `$topic` to `$DOTFILES/.enabled.d/` to keep track of what's enabled.
Running `bootstrap` without arguments will run this process on all
enabled topics in `.enabled.d/`.
> NOTE: Be sure to add ~/.bin to PATH
```
Usage: bootstrap [-iuldyn] [topic1[ topic2[ ...]]]
Options:
-d Do a dry run (only output commands, no changes)
-i Don't run install scripts
-l Don't symlink dotfiles or bin scripts
-n Don't overwrite conflicts (no prompts
-u Don't run update scripts
-y Overwrite conflicts (no prompts)
```
Or write a recipe list (examples in `recipes/`):
+ `bootstrap $(recipes/ganymede)` (my laptop)
To update the topics that you've already enabled, simply run `bootstrap`, and it
will update your symlinks and run `$topic/update` wherever they may exist.
A few good-to-knows (where $topic is an enabled topic):
+ zshrc auto-sources `$topic/*.zsh`
+ `$topic/bin/*` scripts will be symlinked to `~/.bin`. The included bash/zsh
topics add `~/.bin` to `PATH`.
## Clean
`clean` will delete broken symlinks in `$HOME`, and can "disable" topics by
removing their symlinks in `.enabled.d/`
```
Usage: clean [-du]
Options:
-d Do a dry run (only output commands, no changes)
-u Uninstall all enabled topics
```
