About

This is a repository of configuration files that I like to have on all the machines that I use. I can just clone the repository and run "repo/setup.sh" and get most things setup the way I like them.

This started just as dotfiles, but expanded to include SSH keys, GPG keys, packages I like installed, and an ever-growing setup script. There are various options to install just parts of it, such as on a machine where I only have a user account but no root.

This now uses git-crypt to protect private_dotfiles for things I don't want to splash all over the internet. :) I still wouldn't check in anything terribly sensitive, like private keys.

Usefulness

Mostly I post this to github so I can quickly grab the things I want, but it might also be useful to others. Feel free to raise an issue if you have any questions. I don't anticipating taking merge requests -- make your own dotfiles. ;)

Options

BASEDIR: Where the skel framework is installed.  Defaults to $HOME/.skel
MINIMAL: Don't do things that require git clones or installation of anything
  not included in my .skel.  (Defaults to 0, installs everything.)
INSTALL_KEYS: Install GnuPG and SSH keys.  SSH keys are placed in
  authorized_keys. (Defaults to 1, installs keys.)
TRUST_ALL_KEYS: Allow all keys to be used for SSH login, versus a small subset.
INSTALL_PKGS: Install common packages, if on a Debian-like system.
  (Defaults to opposite of $MINIMAL.)
SAVE: Save the install options to ${BASEDIR}/installed-prefs
