~/.dotfiles in 100 Seconds

Is there an equivalent for arch or Debian for the brew dump thing?

fuck windows, right?

Does this works on linux and on windows as well?
Or because how symbolic link in windows works it is imposible?
(Or maybe you just need to make a backup of your registry)

Pretty sure this video is more than 100 seconds. SMH

bruh this aint 100 seconds

I HAVE to ask if the guest has a Channel ?!
i would enjoy following him too
and i believe that it is not just me

I love how he talks to us like we're mentally challenged. Really needed that to understand some of this topics

Sometimes dotfiles make me feel like that maybe Windows Registry isn't that retarded after all.

Why not make the home folder a repo, and gitignore all the content except the files you explicitly want to track? I find this overcomplicating something simple

Patrick sounds 100% like an AI

Gross Apple... All this works on Linux btw

this was probably the most boring tutorial i've ever watched

Sounds like the voice of those early 2000s HBO murder documentaries

Two points I'd make:

First, it's a fantastic video and tutorial.

Setting a git repository for one's dot files and dot directories will be so helpful for
1) the personalization of a rofi configuration. I spent over 2 hours getting rofi to work on a new machine as I had configured it on the first, and
2) it could be helpful for creating all the suggested subvolumes in btrfs, and
3) it could help with moving and symbolically linking Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Movies, Downloads, Templates, etc.from /home/user56 to /data/Users/user56/" on that separate partition as is suggested by tge folks who brilliantly work on siduction. See siduction manual about moving home.

What a voice

I always deleted that .gitconfig on my %userprofile% directory thinking I accidentally initialized a repo there at some point. Lol

Symlinks are stinky.

that mfs voice is ai generated he talks so weird

JESUS CHRIST I finally understand symlinks now. I can rest in peace.

I need a reliable way to provision my windows dev environment with well and docker preinstalled and configured the way I like it. Any suggestions?

You can use stow to do this very efficiently. You can even make a script running stow on every folder/file in your ~/.dotfiles folder and it will do the work for you.

Oh my god this dude's voice, is soooo pleasing

Just use chezmoi

This is awesome, thank you

I think this video is currupt :(

Thank you Fireship and Patrick for this fantastic tutorial! Made everything so easy.

A lot of the time you can literally just copy them over... it's amazing just how much of, say, a Linux DE, is contained in the dot files alone.

enrolled to the course on udemy. 👍

"And if you're like me it will take you half an hour to figure out how to exit vim"
hahaha can relate

On Windows, should I git my registry? 🤣

/usr/bin/env bash in your bootstrap script... how many versions of bash have you installed?

man sounds like google translation

i don’t understand anything xD. What i thought was that any file with a custom .extension was just used so that specific programs can decode the symbols in them in the right algorithm to get the right result depending on what application you use it for. For example if vscode sees the extension .jpg it understands it needs to open the file as an image.

Thanks for the help on setting dotfiles up! This really helped me.

Let there be an end to dotfile clutter! Doing a listing of your home directory and seeing it filled with hundreds of these stupid little things is not a good look.

The XDG conventions try to confine these to a small number of top-level locations, like .config and .local; your app can simply create a directory tree of its own under these. Much tidier, don’t you think?

What about for windowa?

aaah dotfiles or as i like to call em "Error bringers"

Mans giving me catfish vibes

Just to confirm - is the point of the new /.dotfiles directory to avoid accidentally adding the whole /User directory to the git repo? I suppose if you have a lot of dotfiles then you'd want to be able to stage all changes quickly with "git add ." so you'd need the /.dotfiles directory. Are there other reasons too?

or you could just make a bare repo...
