Usage

create a private Fork of this repository and clone it into your $HOME directory. Add the bin/ folder to your path.

Create backups using shell-backup.

Before the first backup you might move the dotfiles you want to backup into the folder $HOME/shell_setup/dotfiles and create a symbolic link in your $HOME directory

If you have an existing backup clone your repository into the $HOME of a new machine and run shell-setup

Other Scripts

This repo also contains some simple utility scripts

pyenv

Script which makes the usage of python venv easier. Allows you to create global or local environments and manage them. Backup of the global environments (dependencies) is supported by the backup script

executable

Make a file executable (same as chmod 755,I am just lazy)

sf

MacOS only

Show/hide hidden files in Finder

sf TRUE # Show hidden files
sf FALSE # Hide files

discord-activate-vcam

Remove Discord’s code signature so it can be used with VCam (might be unnecessary now)
