amruser-48 / .config

Rafi's workstations (Archlinux, osx) ~/.config.

Rafael Bodill's macOS/Archlinux dotfiles

This is my entire "dotfiles" configuration for all the software I use on macOS & Archlinux, mostly in the terminal.

I've turned my ~/.config directory into a Git repository and strive to set applications write their configuration there if they don't by default. Meaning, I try to conform to the XDG standard. There is one important caveat in doing so: Secrets can be accidentally committed. I solve this with the clean and smudge filter features of Git attributes.

Features

The most interesting configs:

• alacritty
• bash
• git
• i3
• karabiner
• launch
• lf
• tmux
• xorg
• skhd
• yabai

... and make sure to check-out github.com/rafi/vim-config!

Install

There is no installation script, only three symlinks:

# Clone the .config repo
cd ~
git clone --recursive [email protected]:rafi/.config.git

# Symlink few files manually:
cd ~
ln -s .config/bash/bashrc .bashrc
ln -s .config/bash/profile .profile
ln -s .config/tmux/config .tmux.conf

# Create cache directories
mkdir -p ~/.cache/{nvim,pacaur,proselint,xpanes,zoxide}
mkdir -p ~/.cache/{aria2,beets,mpd,mpdscribble,mutt,neomutt,rtorrent,subtitles}
mkdir -p ~/.cache/ncmpcpp/lyrics
mkdir -p ~/.cache/node/{npm,gyp}

# Create user local shared directories
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/{cargo,composer,fonts,go,krew,lf,mailbox,mutt,neomutt}
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/{newsbeuter,newsboat,nextword,tig,vagrant,virtualbox}
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/python/{envs,pyenv}

macOS-specific Software

on macOS, make sure you check these out:

• launchctl
• Karabiner

XDG Conformity

Configuration directories are organized neatly by defining specific environment variables in bash/exports and aliases in bash/aliases.

Some programs require special help to feed the proper config:

alias cpan='cpan -j "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/cpan/config.pm'
alias gcal='gcalcli --configFolder "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/gcalcli'
alias mbsync='mbsync -c "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/isync/mbsyncrc'
alias mysql='mysql --defaults-extra-file="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/mysql/config'
alias mutt='ESCDELAY=0 neomutt || mutt -F "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/mutt/config'
alias ncmpc='ncmpc -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/ncmpc/config -k "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/ncmpc/keys'
alias ncmpcpp='ncmpcpp -c "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/ncmpcpp/config'
alias redshift='redshift -c "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/redshift/config'
alias rtorrent='rtorrent -n -o import="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/rtorrent/config.rc'
alias vercel='vercel --global-config="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/vercel'
alias weechat='weechat --dir "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/weechat/'

Protecting Secrets

Using .gitattributes filters clean and smudge. Setup custom filters:

cd ~/.config
git config --local filter.vault.clean 'sed -f ~/.config/clean.sed'
git config --local filter.vault.smudge 'sed -f ~/.config/smudge.sed'

The sed script clean.sed is included. However, you have to create the smudge.sed script yourself, for example:

cat > ~/.config/smudge.sed
s/{{ \(DIANA\|ARIA2\)_TOKEN }}/secret/
s/{{ LASTFM_USER }}/username/
s/{{ LASTFM_TOKEN }}/token/
s/{{ LASTFM_PASS }}/token/
s/{{ SPOTIFY_USER }}/username/
s/{{ SPOTIFY_PASS }}/password/
s/{{ ECHONEST_TOKEN }}/token/
s/{{ JIRA_URL }}/url/
s/{{ JIRA_USER }}/username/
s/{{ JIRA_PASS }}/password/
s/{{ GIT_EMAIL }}/[email protected]/
s/{{ GIT_NAME }}/Joe Shmoe/
s/{{ GIT_USER }}/joe/
s/{{ WEATHER_TOKEN }}/token/
s/{{ FORECASTIO_TOKEN }}/token/
s/{{ GITHUB_TOKEN }}/token/
s/{{ HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN }}/token/
s/{{ TMUX_SPOTIFY_API_KEY }}/token/

Now whenever you stage files, the clean.sed will prevent secrets being committed. And on checkout, the smudge.sed will inject your secrets into their proper placeholders. Note that smudge.sed is ignored from being committed mistakenly.
