# dotfiles
|
||
|
||
Here’s my dotfiles, inspired by people like Mathias. See his dotfiles at
|
||
[`https://github.com/mathias/dotfiles`](https://github.com/mathias/dotfiles).
|
||
|
||
The idea I’m currently going down is to create a symlink from `$HOME` to this
|
||
directory. There is one exception to this, the `.gitconfig` file. I don’t want actual commiter details committed into this repo. So my git credentials are
|
||
stored in a `.extra` file which gets sourced. This then calls the relavent git
|
||
command, which causes git to edit `$HOME/.gitconfig`. If that file was a symlink
|
||
to this repo, then the repo would see the file as edited and the repo would then
|
||
be in a dirty state, permanently.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
First clone the repo.
|
||
|
||
As mentioned above my git credentials are stored in an untracked file:
|
||
`$HOME/.extra`. This must be manually created, mine looks something like:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# Git credentials
|
||
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Jonny Barnes"
|
||
GIT_COMMITER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
|
||
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
|
||
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="jonny@jonnybarnes.uk"
|
||
GIT_COMMITER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
|
||
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Run `./boostrap.sh`, this will create all the necessary symlinks, then source
|
||
`.zshrc`.
|
||

## Auto switch between light and dark mode
|
||
|
||
To switch between dark and light mode automatically, we use a helper lib.
|
||
|
||
Clone it from `https://github.com/bouk/dark-mode-notify` then run `make` and `make install`.
|
||
|
||
Then make a script to run is automatically, put the plist where your system can find it: `~/Library/LaunchAgents/ke.bou.dark-mode-notify.plist` with the following content:
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
||
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
|
||
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
|
||
<plist version="1.0">
|
||
<dict>
|
||
<key>Label</key>
|
||
<string>ke.bou.dark-mode-notify</string>
|
||
<key>KeepAlive</key>
|
||
<true/>
|
||
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
|
||
<string>/Users/jonny/.local/var/log/dark-mode-notify-stderr.log</string>
|
||
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
|
||
<string>/Users/jonny/.local/var/log/dark-mode-notify-stdout.log</string>
|
||
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
|
||
<array>
|
||
<string>/usr/local/bin/dark-mode-notify</string>
|
||
<string>/Users/jonny/git/dotfiles/zsh/dark-mode-notify.zsh</string>
|
||
</array>
|
||
</dict>
|
||
</plist>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Make the log file and script file point to the right location. For clarity `dark-mode-notify.zsh` is in this repo.
