dotfiles

dotfiles:

• jupiter/rojo, maya/cronus, basilisk/morpheus, thing1/thing2
• lite/vanilla/docker

dotfile submodules/organization:

• one repo per machine (or machine "class") - debian, mac, kali, raspberry pi
• organization over convenience - not as much sharing because generally static/fixed

debian deployment:

• rojo copy dotfile changes over to debian repo
• rojo apply changes, ensure nothing broken
• jupiter apply changes, ensure nothing broken

mac deployment:

• copy dotfiles from debian
• copy python from debian
• apply changes, ensure nothing broken

kali deployment and rpi deployment to be fixed later

install scripts:

• debian apt-get install script Jupiter
• mac brew install Homebrew/Post Install
• kali apt-get install Kali/Post Install  · Kali Raspberry Pi/Post Install
• rpi apt-get install RaspberryPi/Post Install
