Dotfiles
用户对于程序的配置通常存储在所谓的 点文件 (以 .
开头的文件)中。通常的做法是用版本控制系统(如 Git )来管理点文件,以跟踪其变化,并在不同的主机上同步。有许多管理点文件的方法。例如,直接跟踪主目录中的点文件;或者将其放在子文件夹中,用 shell 脚本或专用工具进行管理。除了说明如何管理你的点文件之外,本文章还包含了一个来自 Arch Linux 用户的点文件配置库列表。
使用 Git 跟踪点文件[编辑 | 编辑源代码]
The benefit of tracking dotfiles directly with Git is that it only requires Git and does not involve symlinks. The disadvantage is that host-specific configuration generally requires merging changes into multiple branches.
The simplest way to achieve this approach is to initialize a Git repository directly in your home directory and ignoring all files by default with a gitignore(5) pattern of *
. This method however comes with two drawbacks: it can become confusing when you have other Git repositories in your home directory (e.g. if you forget to initialize a repository you suddenly operate on your dotfile repository) and you can no longer easily see which files in the current directory are untracked (because they are ignored).
An alternative method without these drawbacks is the "bare repository and alias method" popularized on Ask Hacker News: What do you use to manage your dotfiles?, which just takes three commands to set up:
$ git init --bare ~/.dotfiles $ alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME' $ config config status.showUntrackedFiles no
You can then manage your dotfiles with the created alias. If you are using Bash and would like bash completion for this alias, simply install bash-complete-aliasAUR, then add the alias and the following line to your ~/.bashrc
.
$ complete -F _complete_alias config
Another way to get completion in bash is adding the following to your ~/.bashrc
(taken from [1]):
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git __git_complete config __git_main
特定配置[编辑 | 编辑源代码]
A common problem with synchronizing dotfiles across various machines is host-specific configuration.
With Git this can be solved by maintaining a master branch for all shared configuration, while each individual machine has a machine-specific branch checked out. Host-specific configuration can be committed to the machine-specific branch; when shared configuration is modified in the master branch, the per-machine branches need to be rebased on top of the updated master.
In configuration scripts like shell configuration files conditional logic can be used. For example, Bash scripts (i.e. .bashrc
) can apply different configuration depending on the machine name (or type, custom variable, etc.):
if [[ "$(hostname)" == "archlaptop" ]]; then # laptop specific commands here else # desktop or server machine commands fi
Similar can also be achieved with .Xresources.[2]
If you find rebasing Git branches too cumbersome, you may want to use a tool that supports file grouping, or if even greater flexibility is desired, a tool that does processing.
