My user-specific application configuration.
To quickly test the configurations in a Docker environment, you can run the following command. This will pull the latest Docker image, start an interactive terminal session that will be removed when you exit.
docker run --rm -it edwardji/dotfiles:latest
To install all configurations at once, use the following command. This will create symlinks for all dotfiles in your home directory.
stow */
Warning
The command below will overwrite your existing configurations. Make sure you have backups of any important files before proceeding.
If you encounter conflicts with existing configurations, you can use the following command to adopt the new configurations by replacing the current ones:
stow --adopt */ && git restore */
Note
On Linux, Docker does not map UID/GID for host volumes. The TARGET_UID and
TARGET_GID variables set the container’s user and group to match your host
system, ensuring proper file permissions when working with mounted host
volumes.
To seamlessly integrate the dotfiles container with your environment, use the following command. This matches the container’s user and group with the host’s, sets the terminal type for proper functionality, and binds the current directory as the working directory inside the container.
docker run -it \
--env TARGET_UID=$(id -u) \
--env TARGET_GID=$(id -g) \
--env TERM=$TERM \
--volume $(pwd):$(pwd) \
--workdir $(pwd) \
