Most of the time I'm on my main computer, but I can be working on a server or a different workstation. In this case, I like to have all my configurations for zsh, vim, screen, etc. + +So, instead of copying my files over different computers, I put everything in a private repostiroy, and when I'm on a new computer, I just have to checkout it. If I do a modification on a machine, I just need to commit it, and I can have the modification everywhere else. + +I've got a $HOME/dotfiles directory, which is versionned (with git in my case). All my configurations file are stored here. + +In this directory, as I'm avery lazy person, I've created a Makefile. Each time I create a new file, I add it to the makefile at the same time. The content of the Makefile is the following: + +```make +DOTFILES := $(shell pwd) +all: shell code perl plagger web +shell: + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/zshrc ${HOME}/.zshrc + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/zsh.d ${HOME}/.zsh.d + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/inputrc ${HOME}/.inputrc + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/screenrc ${HOME}/.screenrc + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/screen ${HOME}/.screen + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/profile ${HOME}/.profile + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/gnupg ${HOME}/.gnupg code: + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/vimrc ${HOME}/.vimrc + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/gvimrc ${HOME}/.gvimrc + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/vim ${HOME}/.vim + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/ackrc ${HOME}/.ackrc + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/gitignore ${HOME}/.gitignore + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/gitconfig ${HOME}/.gitconfig + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/psqlrc ${HOME}/.psqlrc perl: + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/proverc ${HOME}/.proverc + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/pause ${HOME}/.pause + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/perltidyrc ${HOME}/.perltidyrc + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/module-starter ${HOME}/.module-starter plagger: + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/plagger ${HOME}/.plagger web: + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/irssi ${HOME}/.irssi + ln -fns $(DOTFILES)/vimperator ${HOME}/.vimperator + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/vimperatorrc ${HOME}/.vimperatorrc + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/flickrrc ${HOME}/.flickrrc + ln -fs $(DOTFILES)/rtorrent.rc ${HOME}/.rtorrent.rc +``` + +So next time I want to deploy my dotfiles on a new computer, I can run `make all` or `make perl code vim` and I can start coding some perl with vim. |
