A new beginning for what used to be my conf_dir project, since dotfiles appears to be the conventional name of these types of repos nowadays.

This uses Ansible to provision new machines and stow for managing conf files that can be symlinked.

Usage

# Install Homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

# Install ansible
brew install ansible

# Clone dotfiles
git clone --recursive https://github.com/kejadlen/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

# Xcode
sudo xcode-select --install
open 'https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12'
sudo xcodebuild -license

# Run Ansible
cd ~/.dotfiles/ansible && ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-sudo-pass
rm -f ~/*.retry

# Post-Dropbox syncing
rm -rf ~/.dotfiles
ln -s ~/Dropbox/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

Development

Ansible tags are indispensible when tweaking the config.

- command: echo debug
  tags: debug

ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-sudo-pass --tags debug
