Dotfiles

This is only public so I can easily share it across machines. There is probably nothing of interest for you here ... or is there?

Letting me own your machine

git clone https://github.com/fortes/dotfiles.git --branch debian-bullseye
./dotfiles/scripts/setup_machine

Setup

Once you've run setup, you'll still have to do the following manual steps:

1. Generate this machine's SSH keys:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "$(hostname)"
   

   Then add the key into GitHub and wherever else

2. Add any additional ssh keys into ~/.ssh

   Might need to extract out of 1Password, once downloaded will have the password removed. To restore, do

   ssh-keygen -p -f KEY_FILE
   

3. Authorize your public keys on the new machine:

   ssh-import-id gh:fortes
   

4. Add your favorite servers into .ssh/config.local

5. Setup .gitconfig.local:

   [user]
     name = Your Name
     email = [email protected]
   

Ignoring changes to a file

git update-index --skip-worktree ./symlinks/npmrc

To make changes in the future:

git update-index --no-skip-worktree ./symlinks/npmrc

Additional Settings

TODO: Automate these steps.

Debian / Ubuntu

• Depending on the machine, you may need pavucontrol in order to unmute your audio output via GUI. ** Alternatively, find the name of the desired output via pacmd list-sinks then run pacmd set-default-sink $SINK_NAME and make sure to unmute via pacmd set-sink-mute [name] 0

• If running multiple monitors, need to configure Wacom tablet to only use a specific monitor:

  xsetwacom --list | grep stylus # get id, e.g. "21"
  xrandr --listactivemonitors # get id, e.g. DP-2
  
  xsetwacom --set "21" MapToOutput DP-2
