title: Dotfiles and SCM
---
All my dotfiles are stored in a SCM. 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:
bc. 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 do
{% highlight vim %}
make all
{% endhighlight %}
or
{% highlight vim %}
make perl code vim
{% endhighlight %}
and I can start coding some perl with vim.
