Automating laptop configuration

I have been working for sometime now to find solution to automate installing software and setting softwares on my laptop per my preferences. Reinstalling every software manually on the laptop after a fresh installation of OS is a pain and time consuming and waste of energy and resources.

"dotfiles" solves the purpose by automating everything while I take a tea break.

Problem

It is pain to setup your system as per your preferences when one needs to do it from start. It is time consuming and ton of a boring job.

Solution

dotfiles has its dedicated community and site as below:

My dotfiles on my local machine

dotfiles comes to rescue and one can automate installing the software and can configure each software as per one's preferences.

Collaborating on GitHub

My dotfiles as on my local machine is shown in the screen shot. Each software has its own folder to configure preferences and also if I need to run only the preferences of that software.

Pushing local dotfiles on GitHub ensures that all the dotfiles are saved on the GitHub servers. Moreover dotfiles is supported by the community.

It is inspiring to see the community is doing lot of automation and easing life of a developer.

Few learnings I could gather along the way:

  1. Bash shell and Bash scripting
  2. Github
  3. My repository as below
