Configuration

[signalwerk]

hey @reitermarkus
your dotfiles are awesome! I would really like to use them. But if I would, I had to fork your repo and modify it to my needs. but that's a bit of a problem because then we have a mess. you can't use my changes then and I can't use yours. it would be nice to abstract your dotfiles in a (yaml?) canfiguration file. so if you don't have a yaml it runs a default set and if you have one it overwrites the defaults with the personal config. did you ever came across a good solution to configure dotfiles? could we work together on that?

Hi @signalwerk,

first of all, thank you for the idea. I thought about it for a little while now, and I can't seem to find an easy way to abstract dotfiles into a config file.

My settings are already organized on a per-program basis, but even then these settings are highly personalized. In order to really be able to configure program settings via a config file you would have to put every single setting for every single program in the config file. You would end up with a config file longer than the rest of the code.

Can you think of a way to solve this issue?

how personalized we talking because I’m here thinking I’m crazy reading some of it..explain further the intent of this code please?
