Enda's Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, as well as some common packages I have installed on my OS.

Installation

To install the dotfiles binary and all my configurations, simply run the following

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/craicoverflow/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash

This will install the dotfiles binary and add it to your path.

Usage

Install packages

To install the packages found in $DOTFILES_ROOT/config.yaml:

dotfiles install

To specify a custom YQ path, pass the YQ_PATH environment variable:

YQ_PATH=$HOME/custom/bin/yq dotfiles install

If you wish to disable installation of some of these packages, add a config.local.yaml file to the $DOTFILES_ROOT folder, and only the configs you need to disable and set the value to false:

---
brew:
  packages:
-   neovim: true
+   neovim: false
-   docker: true
+   docker: true
