sshrc VS yadm

This sounds a lot like what https://github.com/cdown/sshrc is for

I use my private fork of this script, that removes a bunch of unnecessary stuff, copies ohmyzsh plugins, sets the proper ZDOTDIR and starts zsh: https://github.com/cdown/sshrc (About 80 of those 100 lines are different for me)

ssh() { case "${1}" in (-h|--help) command ssh -h 2>&1 | grep -v "^unknown" printf -- '%s\n' "Overlay options:" printf -- '\t %s\n' "dotfiles: syncs dotfiles to a remote host" \ "nokeys: Forces password based authentication" \ "raw: Runs ssh in its default, noisy state" return 0 ;; (dotfiles) # Inspired by # https://github.com/cdown/sshrc/blob/master/sshrc # https://github.com/fsquillace/kyrat # https://github.com/BarbUk/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/ssh_connect remote_host="${2:?Remote Host not defined}" for dotfile in .bashrc .exrc .inputrc .pwords.dict .vimrc; do if ! [[ -r ~/"${dotfile}" ]]; then printf -- '%s\n' "Local copy of ${dotfile} missing" >&2 continue fi local_sum=$(cksum ~/"${dotfile}" | awk '{print $1}') remote_sum=$(command ssh -q "${remote_host}" cksum "${dotfile}" 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $1}') if [[ "${local_sum}" = "${remote_sum}" ]]; then printf -- '%s\n' "${remote_host}:~/${dotfile} matches the local version" else printf -- '%s\n' "${remote_host}:~/${dotfile} appears outdated, updating..." scp ~/"${dotfile}" "${remote_host}:" || return 1 fi done ;; (nokeys) command ssh \ -o PubkeyAuthentication=no \ -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no \ -q \ "${@:2}" ;; (raw) command ssh "${@:2}" ;; (*) command ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -q "${@}" ;; esac }

I'm using yadm for some years now, which works really well:

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

https://yadm.io/

I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.

Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.
