# Workstation Configuration
|
|
|
|
## Dotfiles Repository
|
|
|
|
- **Repo**: `cal/dotfiles` (private) on `git.manticorum.com`
|
|
- **Local path**: `~/dotfiles/`
|
|
- **Strategy**: Symlink — configs live in the repo, symlinked to their expected system paths
|
|
|
|
### What's tracked
|
|
|
|
| Category | Repo path | System path |
|
|
|----------|-----------|-------------|
|
|
| Fish shell | `fish/config.fish` | `~/.config/fish/config.fish` |
|
|
| Starship prompt | `starship.toml` | `~/.config/starship.toml` |
|
|
| Git config | `git/.gitconfig` | `~/.gitconfig` |
|
|
| Git global ignore | `git/ignore` | `~/.config/git/ignore` |
|
|
| SSH config | `ssh/config` | `~/.ssh/config` |
|
|
| Bash | `shell/.bashrc`, `shell/.bash_profile` | `~/.bashrc`, `~/.bash_profile` |
|
|
| Zsh | `shell/.zshrc`, `shell/.zshenv` | `~/.zshrc`, `~/.zshenv` |
|
|
| MangoHud | `mangohud/MangoHud.conf` | `~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf` |
|
|
| Zed editor | `zed/settings.json` | `~/.config/zed/settings.json` |
|
|
| Restic excludes | `restic/excludes.txt` | `~/.config/restic/excludes.txt` |
|
|
| VS Code | `vscode/settings.json`, `vscode/keybindings.json` | `~/.config/Code/User/` |
|
|
|
|
### Secrets handling
|
|
|
|
API keys and tokens are **never** committed. Shell configs source secrets from separate untracked files:
|
|
- Bash: `~/.bash_secrets` (chmod 600)
|
|
- Zsh: `~/.zsh_secrets`
|
|
|
|
### Install / Uninstall
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/dotfiles
|
|
./install.sh # Backs up originals to ~/.dotfiles-backup/, creates symlinks
|
|
./uninstall.sh # Replaces symlinks with standalone copies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both scripts are idempotent.
|
|
|
|
### Adding a new config
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the file into the appropriate directory in `~/dotfiles/`
|
|
2. Add the mapping to the `LINKS` associative array in both `install.sh` and `uninstall.sh`
|
|
3. Run `./install.sh` to replace the original with a symlink
|
|
4. Commit and push
|
|
|
|
### Shell setup
|
|
|
|
Cal migrated from zsh to **fish + starship** (Feb 2026). Bash and zsh configs are retained for compatibility but fish is the primary interactive shell.
|
|
|
|
## Backups
|
|
|
|
Original files are backed up by `install.sh` to `~/.dotfiles-backup/<timestamp>/` before being replaced with symlinks. Multiple runs create separate timestamped backup dirs. Old backups can be cleaned up manually.
