Features

Package Management

Using a ~/.config/onboardme/packages.yaml, you can manage what packages get installed with which package managers, and what commands, if any, are run to upgrade them. We install a default packages.yaml, if you don’t create this file.

Dot file Management

We can use any dot file URL repo you’d like to clone, along with what branch you’d like to clone. We’ll then keep those dot files up to date everytime onboardme runs. If you don’t specify a set of dot files, we’ll try to install some dot files anyway, but we won’t overwrite anything you have locally.

Default dot files

Here’s where I’m putting various aliases and tooling that get installed if you use my default dot files.

Shell Prompt

We use powerline which you can learn more about here.

Aliases and the commands they run

Here’s some default aliases you get when you use the default .bashrc

alias	command(s) the alias runs
cat	rich or bat (varies by file type)
gph	git push && git push --tags
gs	git status
gsa	prints git status for every sub directory
utc	date --utc

• rich: This adds syntax highlighting and line numbers. We use rich --pager, for files longer than your current terminal height.
• bat: (sometimes known as batcat) adds syntax highlighting, line numbers, and git diff features.

CLI tools

Here’s some of the cli tools we install.

TODO: fill this in, and make sure it doesn’t conflict with other areas of the docs.

Neovim

We use neovim with these plugins you can learn more about here.
