What? More Dotfiles?! -- NOW CONFIG FREE!

No configuration necessary dotfile management, just files and folder and (new!) symlinks in the appropriate tree shape.

Taskfile

Uses Taskfile for running tasks, once the fish config is in place there is an alias for run to ./Taskfile

./Taskfile <task> <args>

Tasks:

Config Order

Notes:

• hostname below is the output of the run hostname task.

• _platform files are only loaded if they're _mac or _linux prefixed files on the correct platform.

• *local* is git ignored so local overrides can be made that won't be git tracked like the above two options.

• nvim

  1. plugs.vim
  2. _platform.plugs.vim
  3. _hostname.plugs.vim
  4. local.plugs.vim
  5. init.vim
  6. _platform.vim
  7. _hostname.vim
  8. local.vim

• fish

  1. config.fish
  2. _platform.fish
  3. _hostname.fish
  4. local.fish

• zsh

  1. zshrc
  2. _platform.zsh
  3. _hostname.zsh
  4. local.zsh

Aliases (symlinks to spawn symlinks)

If you create a symlink inside .dotfiles that is a valid relative path to a file inside .dotfiles, when the link is created it will point directly to the target of the symlink, not the intermediary symlink.

For example start in your dot files:

cd ~/.dotfiles

This step isn't strictly necessary but will allow tab completion of your target

cd home

Now make a relative link to your target file (you'd link to home/vimrc if you skipped above step)

ln -s ../config/nvim/init.vim vimrc

Now you will have a symlink in .dotfiles/home/vimrc that points to .dotfiles/config/nvim/init.vim but relatively.

When you run install your ~/.vimrc will point to your .dotfiles/config/nvim/init.vim ... not to the symlink .dotfiles/home/vimrc

Thanks to ryanb for the starting point. Thanks to adriancooney for the Taskfile format.
