Dotfiles Management Skill

Manage dotfiles stored in ~/.dotfiles using dotter.

Structure

  • •~/.dotfiles/ - Main dotfiles repository
  • •~/.dotfiles/.dotter/global.toml - Dotter configuration with symlink mappings
  • •~/.dotfiles/bin/ - Custom scripts (symlinked to ~/bin/)
  • •~/.dotfiles/config/ - Config files (symlinked to ~/.config/)

Machines

  • •Gali10 - Linux machine
  • •Gali11 - macOS machine

Files should work cross-platform (Linux and macOS) unless specifically targeting one.

Security Guidelines

  • •Never store secrets, API keys, or credentials in dotfiles
  • •Check for sensitive data before adding new files
  • •Use environment variables or separate secret management for credentials

Workflow

  1. •Edit files in ~/.dotfiles/
  2. •Add new files to ~/.dotfiles/.dotter/global.toml
  3. •Run dotter deploy to create symlinks
  4. •User handles git commits (never commit automatically)

Dotter Config Format

[default.files]
"source/path" = "~/destination/path"

Proactive Suggestions

When modifying config files, suggest:

  • •Adding them to dotfiles if not already tracked
  • •Cross-platform compatibility improvements
  • •Security checks for sensitive data
