Dotfiles

Personal development environment configuration managed with Chezmoi and Pixi.

Usage

Manual Installation

Choose the installation level based on your use case:

Minimal (shared/untrusted machines - tools only, no git config):

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl && \
curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | bash && \
export PATH="$HOME/.pixi/bin:$PATH" && \
pixi global install chezmoi && \
chezmoi init --apply --exclude .gitconfig git@github.com:blooop/dotfiles.git && \
pixi global sync

DevContainers (development containers - tools + git config):

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl && \
curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | bash && \
export PATH="$HOME/.pixi/bin:$PATH" && \
pixi global install chezmoi && \
DEVPOD=1 chezmoi init --apply git@github.com:blooop/dotfiles.git && \
pixi global sync

Full (personal laptop - complete setup):

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl && \
curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | bash && \
export PATH="$HOME/.pixi/bin:$PATH" && \
pixi global install chezmoi && \
chezmoi init --apply git@github.com:blooop/dotfiles.git && \
pixi global sync

Note: Always inspect scripts before running. You can review files at github.com/blooop/dotfiles

Development Containers

For development containers, you have two options:

DevPod (automated):

First-time setup - add the Docker provider and configure automatic dotfiles:

devpod provider add docker
devpod context set-options -o DOTFILES_URL=https://github.com/blooop/dotfiles

This configures devpod to automatically install dotfiles for all new workspaces.

Alternatively, use the --dotfiles argument for individual workspaces:

devpod up <project-repo> --dotfiles https://github.com/blooop/dotfiles

DevPod will automatically detect and run the install.sh script to configure your environment.

Manual (any devcontainer):

Use the DevContainers installation command above, or add to your devcontainer configuration.
