towo's dotfiles

Because there aren't enough dotfiles repositories out there, you know.

This repository is focused around using vcsh, with technically optional usage of mr.

I'm trying to go for a mostly XDG-compatible approach; this should technically allow you to just port over XDG_CONFIG_HOME when sudoing, as one of the advantages.

sparse checkout

This repository has support for sparse checkouts when using vcsh; there's a bit of a bootstrap problem as vcsh needs to have the hooks available and enabled before actually pulling any sparse-proof files.

To facilitate this and if you're not using whatever bootstrap script I'll make/user later, perform the following steps:

  • vcsh dotfiles fetch
  • vcsh dotfiles checkout sparse_checkout
  • vcsh upgrade dotfiles
  • vcsh dotfiles pull

What this does is check out a version that has

  1. sparse checkout configuration
  2. no files affected by sparse checkout

Courtesy of the sparse checkout hooks from ek9, you'll just have to run the upgrade process on the repository, which'll configure it to do sparse checkouts. After that, you won't be getting any README.md in your home all of a sudden.
