dotfiles

A chezmoi-activated dotfiles repository containing all settings related to any number of activities for me: Xevion.

This repository is not intended for others, but is kept public in the spirit of Open Source, as well as a test of my ability to build an encrypted config in the open.

Note

If you're not used to Chezmoi, it's a dotfile manager for multiple machines, with special abilities like templating, encryption, secret management, scripting, and more.

Warning

While Chezmoi is a powerful tool with mass configurability, it is not a fully featured declarative configuration manager. This warning is more for myself than others: if you want a fully declarative OS, go install NixOS dumbass.

Intended Goals

• Lock rbw automatically
  • 8 hour session by default
  • Lock when computer sleeps, idle, screen saver
• Encrypted configurations for private details
• Bootstrapping for any Ubuntu-based system
  • WSL-support
    • Windows integration?
  • Device-specific configuration
• Automatic package/script install/setup
  • Neovim
  • VS Code
• Terminal startup for when configs changed, out of date, etc.
  • Ideally, this would run on a timer and only fetch the latest status upon terminal startup, keeping startup times low.
• GitHub Language Attributes Script
  • Automatically update the language attributes for GitHub repositories
  • Prehook for commits, updates .gitattributes
  • Reference
