port2211078y@cako91 I started doing this a year ago, I now have a script that I can curl and pipe into bash and it sets up everything how I like it from a fresh install 🙌
-
psudo3408yIn addition to what @cako91 said, I recommend checking out dotfile repos on github. They contain the customization/settings others have used. I've found many a useful thing there.
You can even create your own and use something like gnu stow to make migrating easier. -
vector300438y@cako91 can you post a link to some of the files you are using? Would love to set this up for myself, but I don't know where to start..
-
port2211078y@cako91 I don't because there are somethings hard coded into that would make it a pain to use for anyone else but I've been meaning to refactor it for a while
-
psudo3408y@cako91 Yeah, I suppose if you're just first getting set up stow/syslinking all the files are an extra layer of complexity, but really helps with the portability of a dotfiles repo.
http://brandon.invergo.net/news/... is the resource I found most helpful in getting to understand how to set it up
