Szorfein Dots Save
Use chezmoi to install my dotfiles easily on Gentoo, Arch, Void and Debian.
dots
Dotfiles managed by chezmoi and pass.
Work only on distro linux including the installer: ( tested on a fresh install of Gentoo, Archlinux, Void and Debian )
-
emerge: Gentoo, Pentoo, Funtoo. -
pacman: Archlinux, Manjaro, Antergos, ArchBang,... -
apt-get: Debian, Kali, etc... -
xbps-install: Voidlinux. Tested on a clean install of the rootfs-glibc and rootfs-musl.
Why i switch on chezmoi?
- Even with GNU/Stow, i have to modify a lot of files each time i install/reinstall a new system, i start hating this !
- Template are great.
- Possibility of encrypt files.
- Install and updates are easy.
