blakecode-linux-configs

A place for me to store all my silly linux/unix configuration files.

Installation

First Time Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone git@github.com:Djspaceg/blakecode-linux-configs.git
   cd blakecode-linux-configs

2. Run the installation script:

   ./install.sh

3. Follow the prompts to:

   • Set a hostname for this machine (e.g., "CandyKingdom", "JungleFort")
   • Backup and merge any existing config files
   • Create symlinks to your home directory

4. Restart your shell or source the new config:

   source ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc

What the installer does

• Prompts for a custom hostname (stored in ~/.bc-hostname)
• Creates machine-configs/$HOSTNAME/ for machine-specific configs
• Backs up existing config files to ~/.config-backup-TIMESTAMP/
• Migrates existing configs to your machine-specific folder
• Creates symlinks from ~/.profileconfig to your home directory

Machine-Specific Configuration

After installation, customize your machine by editing files in:

machine-configs/$HOSTNAME/

These files override the base configuration for this specific machine.

Structure

See STRUCTURE.md for detailed documentation on:

• File execution order for bash and zsh
• What belongs in each file (zshenv vs zshrc vs zprofile)
• Machine-specific configuration
• PATH construction
• History file management

Legacy Setup

The old ./configure script is still available but doesn't handle hostname setup or config migration. Use ./install.sh instead.
