profiles

⚠️ Dotbot is no longer being used. Replaced with ansible. check README.md ⚠️

meta/profiles

running a collection of dotbot configs as a profile.

Ex:

• running configs for setting up debian

• running configs for setting up fedora

• running configs for setting up macos

---

How does it work?

A profile contains a list of dotbot configs to run as a collection. This makes it easier than manually typing out which configs to run.

Useful for when setting up dotfiles for a new OS.

The contents of the profile is read line by line and executed by dotfiles/install-standalone script.

profile contents

The profile contents will contain config files to run; as if running the config using dotfiles/install-standalone script.

Example: dotbot-template/exampleOS1

Example

homebrew
git
tmux
alacritty
spacevim

Example: config with sudo

If a config needs to run with sudo, then append sudo to the end of config to run

apt-sudo
git
neovim-precompiled-sudo
neovim-packages

ignoring dotbot configs

If you wish to ignore certain dotbot configs, add # at the beginning of the line you wish to ignore

Ex:

apt-sudo
# git
neovim-precompiled-sudo
# neovim-packages

This will only run apt-sudo and neovim-precompiled-sudo
