This repo has been superceded by my new chezmoi powered dotfiles repo
. kitchen's dotfiles
I'm now using stow to manage my dotfiles. Or at least trying to. This is an experiment. So far I really only have 3 things I have my dotfiles on anymore and they all support stow, so that's good.
run bash install.sh and delete things as it whines about them. It's not a smooth transition process, but that's fine. I don't care enough to bother trying to fix it :)
in each package there's room for a README file and a post-install-hook file.
The README is obvious, but the post-install-hook is a bash script that runs after the stow has been installed. This is to install user level things like rust packages or whatnot. The scripts should try to only run if they need to (i.e. if they're installing a kubernetes plugin, see if that plugin is installed first before trying to install again), and if it's a suuuuuuuper long install process (e.g. helix-editor) perhaps either just tell the user what to do or prompt before doing it. Maybe with some sort of environment variable override to automatically just go ahead. I dunno.
