PyDotfiles | Extendable Configuration-based Python Dotfile Manager

By Jason Yao.

PyDotfiles is an extendable and configurable dotfile manager written in python. It will configure your computer exactly the way that you want, and through the configuration system, means that people can have their own personalized environment by just editing configuration files, with no need to dive into the code to make it just work.

For Windows support, please see here

Installation

[RECOMMENDED] Opinionated Bootstrap

The following one-liner will bootstrap the system to an opinionated setup, in particular setting up pyenv for you if you don't have it yet, and setting up a new laptop-wide global python environment for day-to-day use.

Basically, if there's a completely new computer, run this:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-opinionated | bash -s {CONFIGURATION_REPO_GIT_LINK}
# e.g.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-opinionated | bash -s https://github.com/JasonYao/dotfiles.git

Non-Opinionated Bootstrap

The following one-liner won't assume the python environment that you're installing this to, and just install itself with pip.

Basically, if your computer already has the required python version/environments, run this:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-base | bash -s {CONFIGURATION_REPO_GIT_LINK}
# e.g.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-base | bash -s https://github.com/JasonYao/dotfiles.git

Usage

• To toggle show/hiding of iTerm 2: ⌘ + ↓

• To update + upgrade the dotfiles:

dotfiles upgrade

• To uninstall the dotfiles:

dotfiles uninstall
