# Dotfiles (chezmoi)
Dotfiles managed by [chezmoi](https://www.chezmoi.io/). The repo works on
Arch and Ubuntu (not complete) and has three machine classes: **server**, **desktop**, and **laptop**.
## First-time install on a new machine
### 1. Install prerequisites
```bash
# Arch
sudo pacman -S git curl age jq chezmoi
# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y git curl age jq
# chezmoi: see https://www.chezmoi.io/install/
```
### 2. Provision the age key
The age key needs to be placed at `~/.config/chezmoi/key`
With following permissions
```bash
chmod 600 ~/.config/chezmoi/key
```
### 3. Bootstrap
```bash
chezmoi init --apply git@gitea.keuledrive.de:Keule2/Dotfiles.git
```
Will ask:
- **Which system class is this machine?** — pick `server`, `desktop`, or `laptop`.
- **EMAIL** — for git config.
## Usage
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| `chezmoi apply` | apply any local changes to dotfiles and run-once scripts |
| `chezmoi update` | `git pull` + `apply` |
| `chezmoi edit <file>` | open a tracked file in `$EDITOR` |
| `chezmoi cd` | shell into the source dir |
| `chezmoi diff` | show pending changes against your home |
| `chezmoi managed` | list files chezmoi manages |
## Changing the system class
Two ways:
```bash
# Option A: re-prompt
chezmoi init --apply --force --prompt
# Option B: edit the cached value
$EDITOR ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml # change [data].system
chezmoi apply
```
## TODO
- Check packages e.g. gaming Steam/Lutris
