My precious configs

Dotfiles by Alex Palcuie

Hacking like a geek:

  • the playbooks folder contains Ansible that provisions a machine with apps and configs
  • my main machine is a Mac, and I have another Mac at my office, so I keep them in sync
  • there is also a playbook for Ubuntu
  • ZSH shell with ~~oh_my_zsh~~ Prezto and my .zshrc
  • VIM provisioned with Vundle
  • AppleScripts that automate mundane tasks
  • the configs folder is for other apps like Sublime Text or iTerm2

Setup for new Mac machine

  1. Install XCode tools using xcode-select --install
  2. Install Brew
  3. Install Ansible using Brew brew install ansible
  4. As a convention ~/dotfiles should be this repo
git clone https://github.com/palcu/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
  1. Install XQuartz
  2. Run the Ansible playbook for Mac
./launch

Setup for new Ubuntu machine

We need a version of Ansible greater than 2.0.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ansible software-properties-common git
git clone https://github.com/palcu/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles/playbooks
./launch
