My unix dotfiles managed by git stow plus environment setup automation
Since I have a lot of command lines running everywhere and new ones all the time, I need an easy way to sync my config files!
GNU stow to the resuce!
Plus ansible to help set some things up.
Build stow from source. Obtain from: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/
Install ansible.
AL2:
pip3 install ansible
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general --server https://old-galaxy.ansible.com
Mac: brew install ansible
Clone the repository in your home directory. Then you can...
cd dotfiles
And then, for example, to install the zsh settings...
stow zsh
TODO: Automate the installation of stow and the running of it.
First, ensure your user is in /etc/sudoers. Then, run environment setup automation with:
cd env_setup
ansible-playbook playbook.yml --ask-become
There are also OS-specific playbooks to run too.
