devenv

devenv

ZSH and NeoVim environment, containerized.

Usage

Begin by cloning this repo

git clone https://github.com/joshwbrick/devenv.git
cd devenv

Copy the example env file to the path .env. The edit the file to contain the desired values.

cp env.example .env
nvim .env

Add your dotfiles to the dotfiles/ directory. You can checkout another repo directly in that directory. For example:

cd dotfiles
git clone https://github.com/user/dotfiles.git

Run the build and docker will begin creating the image using your environment variables.

make build

If they do not exist this will create three required files in the dotfiles directory. The required files are called setup.sh, init.vim and zshrc and must be in the root of the dotfiles directory. You may include any other files or directories as well. These will be made available in the container at ~/all_dotfiles.

setup.sh can contain any shell code to install or setup your peronsal shell or vim environment. For example, in mine I install vim-plug and setup a PHP 8 development environment. init.vim should contain your vim config and zshrc should contain setup for zsh like your personal environment variables, aliases, functions, etc.

Any time you make changes to your dotfiles and are ready to try them out in your environment simply run the build command again.

make build

Once the image is built with all of your additions you can begin using it.

make run
