ℹ️ About the project

Screenshot

dotload works by cloning the specified user's GitHub dotfiles repository

This tool was created to make it as easy as possible to install dotfiles, required development tools (such as nodejs, php, etc.) and other packages.

⚙️ Installation

You can install dotload using the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:salumin/tools
sudo apt update
sudo apt install dotload

Or you can run without installation on any OS with this command:

bash <(curl -sL t.ly/dotload) @<username>

More installation methods will be added soon

🚀 Usage

dotload @<username>

Where username is the GitHub username whose dotfiles you want to clone.

Warning

The username cannot contain emojis, spaces or other non-standard characters

Advanced Usage

dotload @<username> <branch_name>

Tip

You can also use -b or --branch flags:

dotload @<username> -b <branch_name>
# Or
dotload @<username> --branch <branch_name>

Where branch_name is the branch of the repository you want to clone. If not specified, the default branch is used.

This can be useful if you have multiple machine usage scenarios


Use the --help flag to get help:

dotload --help
# Help page...

There is also support for manpages:

man dotload

Custom installation scripts

You can also add an installation script to your dotfiles repository to fully automate the installation and get more features

The installation file can have the following names and locations:

  • install.sh
  • install
  • bootstrap.sh
  • bootstrap
  • script/bootstrap
  • setup.sh
  • setup
  • script/setup

If none of these files are found, then any files or folders in your selected dotfiles repository starting with . are automatically symlinked to the $HOME directory.

Configuration

You can also specify a custom installation script or make it optional in dotload.conf, for this read the dotload.conf documentation
