These are my dotfiles. I use stow to deploy dotfiles into my home directory. I use age to encrypt private dotfiles, which allows for storing them securely in a git repository. My dotfiles are based around the Bash shell.

• Add your SSH public key(s) to your GitHub account.
• Clone this repo to ~/.dotfiles.
• Put private dotfiles in ~/.dotfiles/private.
  • Also, consider running git init inside the ~/.dotfiles/private directory if you'd like to use git to track changes to the private dotfiles. This would never be separately pushed to a remote, but remote backup is provided via the enclosing dotfiles repository being pushed to GitHub.
• Set your GitHub username (we pull your public SSH keys from GitHub to encrypt your private dotfiles):

export GITHUB_USER="your-username-here"

• Run script/encrypt to create an encrypted tarball of your private dotfiles.
• Push to GitHub.
• Run script/bootstrap to put dotfiles in place, this will prompt for an SSH passphrase to decrypt private dotfiles.

To bring dotfiles to a new machine:

• Add that machine's SSH pubkey to your GitHub account.
• On a machine with dotfiles already checked out, run script/encrypt and push changes to GitHub.
• Pull dotfiles to the new machine and run script/bootstrap.

• This has deviated long ago and far away, but was originally part of @holman's dotfiles. Mistakes are mine, dope stylings are probably all his.
