Bootstrap

Minimal Bootstrap Mike McLean Shell Environment

Background

I store my Shell Init and dotfiles in a ~/.init directory in my home directory. I keep this repository version controlled in Git and stored in a Private Repository on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Code Commit as DotInit.

Purpose

When configuring a new system I need a way to get my ~/.init configuration folder onto it. This minimal Bootstrap project will get a copy of ~/.init onto the target system.

If ~/.init does not exist:

• If the target system already contains a copy of the DotInit directory as a synchronized copy via Microsoft OneDrive, the script will create ~/.init a symbolic link to that version
• On a system without a synchronized copy via Microsoft OneDrive this script will execute a git clone from AWS Code Commit to ~/.init. The code to clone from AWS CodeCommit requires the following:
  • curl or wget
  • ssh
  • git (at least version 2.3.0 which supports the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable)
  • A copy of my main SSH private key id.mike.mclean, placed on the system manually. The script will ask for the path to this file as input
  • A running ssh-agent, enforced by the recommended run commands below

Usage

On a new target system execute:

ssh-agent bash <(curl --noproxy "*" -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SkydiveMike/bootstrap/master/bootstrap.sh)

Or:

ssh-agent bash <(wget --no-proxy -qO-  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SkydiveMike/bootstrap/master/bootstrap.sh)
