dotfiles

Originally, this started as a simple project of directories that would be manually symlinked to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Now, this project serves as my portable setup for multiple hosts. My job often involves me needing to setup new physical or virtual machines for development on Ubuntu 22+. Over the years I have crafted a developer experience that meets my needs and I needed a way to quickly setup that experience on every new machine.

Setup

Setup a fresh Ubuntu install:

wget -qo- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mharrisb1/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash

Configuration

All software, user settings, and paths are dynamically configured in setup/vars/main.yml.

You can effortlessly toggle tools or add new ones by editing the software array. The setup natively handles package installations across apt, cargo, go install (go_mod), and uv tool:

- name: "example_tool"
  enable: true
  task_file: "tasks/custom_task.yml" # Optional: run a complex Ansible task file
  apt:
    example-pkg: true
  cargo:
    - name: example-crate
      enable: true
      git: "https://github.com/optional/git-repo" # Optional: install via git
  go_mod:
    - name: example-binary
      enable: true
      mod: "github.com/user/repo"
  uv_tool:
    - name: "example-python-tool==1.0.0"
      enable: true
