My personal dotfiles

Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal setup for MacOS machine.

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository:

git clone [email protected]:jollopre/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

2. Import public and private gpg keys from the backup store:

./installer gpg --import-secret-key=/a/path/to/private.key.gpg
./installer gpg --import-public-key=/a/path/to/public.key.gpg

# Check keys are properly imported

./installer gpg --list-secret-keys
./installer gpg --list-public-keys

3. Run installer

# Run brew bundle to install cask/brew programs
./installer install
# Copy decrypted secret files into ~
./installer copy-secrets
# Copy dotfiles
./installer copy-dotfiles

Encrypt data

We use git-secret to store secrets that otherwise would be compromissed within git versioning. Make sure that public/private gpg keys are stored in the machine beforehand.

New file to be added

In order to add a new file for encrypting, you can type the following:

# Add file to the index of files tracked to be encrypted
git-secret add <filename>
# Encrypts all the files that have been added
git-secret hide

Update existing file

In order to encrypt an updated file, you can modify the file as always but make sure to type:

git-secret hide

and remember, once you are done, please push changes back to this repository :).

dotfiles's Issues

Modifying .extended_routes

Document how to import gpg private/public key

It is crucial to have document how to import gpg private/public key in order for the installation to properly work. This is needed because this repository holds secrets that are encrypted/decrypted through gpg

Adding support for .ssh configuration

The .ssh configuration is meant to hold public/private ssh keys in case a machine has to be recovered so that we don't have to issue new keys and update each and every ssh server that we connect

Add HOME to cdpath

CDPATH permits configuring directories to which look for directories without needing to type full path, we would like to add HOME as the first occurrence to look for.

Introduce XDG Base Directory Specification

Instead of having the config files scattered across $HOME, I would be better to stick to the convention proposed at https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

setup for MacOS

We would like to create a consistent installation for MacOS machines instead of dockerised machine. This is due to the fact that we work mostly with Apple machines

Integrate password-store

We are going to use password-store to manage passwords
