Dotfiles

Required

dotter-rs-bin

To manage my dotfiles, I’m currently using dotter.

For dotter to work correctly, we first need to create a local.toml config file in the TOML format, to tell it which package groups we want and if we need a special config (e.g. for Windows). This file needs to be in the .dotter dir within the newly cloned dotfile repository.

I will enable both the dev as well as the dev-extra package within my config:

~/dotfiles/.dotter/local.toml

packages = ["dev", "dev-extra"]

Tip

As we neither have an editor, nor a special shell setup yet, the easiest way to do it is probably using

echo packages = ["dev", "dev-extra"] > ~/dotfiles/.dotter/local.toml

After that, a simple

dotter deploy

within the dotfiles repo should do the rest of the magic.
