My dot files and a tool to deploy them to various OS's

The Plan

files in link/ get symlinked to ~/.{filename}
files in copy/ get copied to ~/.{filename}
- this process should default to not clobbering existing files
bin/dots.py is what users will interact with
- it should bootstrap based on the OS it is being run on
- it should run Puppet and associated tools such as r10k via bundler
- it should not utilize Git submodules; it should instead use vcsrepo
  - the destination of each repo may well need to be added to the parent's .gitignore
- it should configure iTerm2 on Mac
- it should configure Atom on all platforms
- it should offer a choice to skip steps related to GUI programs
- it should permit host-specific settings / options
  - this will likely be done via entries in a hiera node file
create a Docker image with all tools preinstaleld and set to mount the current user's home directory as a volume.
- use gosu so ownership is correct.
  - this may not work on Windows...

Notes thus far

Install Homebrew
Install ruby >= 2.0 (testing with 2.4.1)
Install bundler
Install cmake and pkg-config

git clone git@github.com:genebean/dots.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles/bin/puppet
bundle install
bundle exec r10k puppetfile install --moduledir vendor/puppet_modules --puppetfile Puppetfile -v
