Dave Dopson's Dotfiles

Installation

cd
git clone https://github.com/ddopson/dotfiles.git
./dotfiles/setup.sh # symlink dotfiles, making dated backups of existing versions

Customization

~/.gitconfig.local:

[user]
  user = ddopson
  name = Dave Dopson
  email = [email protected]

# Setting credentials.helper to `store` means that when `git` prompts for a
# username/password challenge, the supplied password gets saved, in plaintext,
# to ~/.git-credentials. Alternatively, `cache` causes `git` to retain the
# credential in RAM for up to 15 minutes before purging it, more like `sudo`.
[credential]
  helper = store

To get a GitHub access token:

  • Open https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new (ie, "GitHub Settings" -> "Developer settings" -> "Personal access tokens" -> "Fine-grained tokens" -> "Generate new token")

  • Set time to unlimited, add the dotfiles repo, and add the "Contents" permission with Read/Write access. Generate the secret.

  • Running git push prompts for username / password.

  • Use the token as the "password".

  • The git tooling stores the secret in ~/.git-credentials, when configured with "helper = store".
