Goals

  • Streamline frequent workflows
  • Configure Bash, ZSH, and Vim
  • Configure Python, pip, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper
  • Configure IPython
  • Configure Gnome
  • Configure i3wm
  • Support Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux, OSX
  • Document commands and keyboard shortcuts
  • Create a productive working environment

Installation

Requirements

Project requirements are installed by bootstrap_dotfiles.sh and/or, optionally, also a Makefile.

  • Bash, Git, Python, pip

Install the dotfiles

Source: https://github.com/westurner/dotfiles
Documentation: https://westurner.org/dotfiles/

The bootstrap_dotfiles.sh shell script:

  • clones the dotfiles and dotvim repositories
  • creates symlinks from HOME to __DOTFILES,
  • installs the dotfiles Python package,
  • installs additional requirements with pip
wget bootstrap_dotfiles.sh
bash ./scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -I -R

Create a virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper named “dotfiles”:

# Install virtualenvwrapper
pip install virtualenvwrapper   # apt-get install python-virtualenvwrapper
source $(which 'virtualenvwrapper.sh')    # 07-bashrc.virtualenvwrapper.sh

export WORKON_HOME="~/-wrk/-ve27"                    # __WRK/-ve python2.7
mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME

# Create a virtualenvwrapper virtualenv
mkvirtualenv dotfiles  # workon dotfiles
mkdir $VIRTUAL_ENV/src
cd $VIRTUAL_ENV/src

# Clone the dotfiles git repository
branch="master"     # stable
# branch="develop"  # development
git clone ssh://git@github.com/westurner/dotfiles -b ${branch}
cd dotfiles

# Install dotfiles pkg, symlinks, and extra pip requirements
scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -I -R         # -I calls -S

With Python builds that haven’t set a prefix which is writeable by the current user, you can also install into ~/.local with pip --user:

# (Optional) Also install pkg and reqs into ~/.local/bin (pip --user)
# scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -I -R -u

Note

See Quickstart, which uses venv-style paths.

Source the dotfiles

  • Bash (and ZSH) configuation sets are sequentially numbered 00-99.

    00-bashrc.before.sh sources a documented, numerically sequential sequence of bash scripts.

  • ZSH loads much of the standard Bash configuration and oh-my-zsh.

    00-zshrc.before.sh

  • bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -S installs dotfiles ${__DOTFILES} symlinks.

    ln -s ~/-dotfiles/etc/.bashrc ~/.bashrc
ln -s ~/-dotfiles/etc/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

# Source the dotfiles
source ~/.bashrc                                         # source ~/.zshrc

# source ${__DOTFILES}/etc/.bashrc
## source ${__DOTFILES}/etc/bash/00-bashrc.before.sh     # dotfiles_reload
### dotfiles configuration sequence                # (\d\d)-bashrc.(.*).sh
#### source ${__DOTFILES}/etc/bash/99-bashrc.after.sh
##### source ${__PROJECTSRC}                     # ${__WRK}/.projectsrc.sh

Upgrade the dotfiles

# check for any changes to symlinked dotfiles
cdd                                                   # cddotfiles
git status && git diff                                # gsi ; gitw diff

# pull and upgrade dotfiles and dotvim
scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -U

Quickstart

This is a verbose example of installing and working with a VIRTUAL_ENV in WORKON_HOME named “dotfiles”.

See Install the dotfiles for more terse installation instructions.

# clone and install dotfiles and dotvim
# with venv-style paths (_SRC, _APP, _WRD)

# __WRK             -- base path for workspace               [venv]
__WRK="$HOME/-wrk"
cd $__WRK                     # cdwrk                        [venv]

# WORKON_HOME       -- path to virtualenv dirs  [virtualenvwrapper]
WORKON_HOME="${__WRK}/-ve27"  # ~/-wrk/-ve27
test -d ${WORKON_HOME} || mkdir -p ${WORKON_HOME}
cd $WORKON_HOME               # cdworkonhome cdwh cdve       [venv]

# VIRTUAL_ENV_NAME  -- basename for VIRTUAL_ENV              [venv]
VIRTUAL_ENV_NAME="dotfiles"

# VIRTUAL_ENV       -- current virtualenv path         [virtualenv]
VIRTUAL_ENV="${WORKON_HOME}/${VIRTUAL_ENV_NAME}"
cd $VIRTUAL_ENV               # cdv cdvirtualenv [venv, virtualenvwrapper]

# _SRC              -- basepath of source repositories (e.g. for pip)
_SRC="${VIRTUAL_ENV}/src"
cd $_SRC                      # cdsrc cds                    [venv]

# _APP              -- basename of current working directory [venv]
_APP="dotfiles"

# _WRD              -- working directory path                [venv]
_WRD="${_SRC}/${_APP}"        # cdwrd cdw                    [venv]

git clone https://github.com/westurner/dotfiles $_WRD
git clone https://github.com/westurner/dotvim ${_WRD}/etc/vim
cd $_WRD                      # cdwrd cdw                    [venv]

# __DOTFILES        -- symlink root for current dotfiles     [venv]
__DOTFILES="${HOME}/-dotfiles"
ln -s $_WRD $__DOTFILES
ls ~/-dotfiles
cd $__DOTFILES                # cddotfiles cdd               [venv]

## Install the dotfiles
$_WRD/scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -h      # help
$_WRD/scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -I      # or: make install
$_WRD/scripts/bootstrap_dotfiles.sh -S      # or: make install_symlinks
