Ever wondered how you can bring your personal dotfiles configurations to Gitpod to have your personalized ephemeral developer environments in the cloud? Here's how...

• It has a ./setup.sh file that contains the initial setup script to execute all the scripts to install/ configure required services under ./scripts/ to keep that X service installed on your next Gitpod Workspaces. For example, it contains following scripts:
  • ./scripts/gpg_configure.sh is script to configure GPG key.
  • ./scripts/terraform_configure.sh is script to setup & configure Terraform.
  • ./scripts/aws_cli_install.sh to install AWS CLI.
  • ./scripts/deno_configure.sh to install & configure deno.
  • ./scripts/gcloud_cli_install.sh to install Google Cloud CLI.

• You Can generate a repo. for you by using this template
• Name your Repo. (e.g.: dotfiles).
• Add your dotfiles repository to Gitpod Dashboard Preferences
• Now, everytime you will start a new workspace or just Restart your Gitpod Workspace, you will get your lovely dotfiles customisation setup.

Note: Your installation script will be terminated if it exceeds 120 seconds.
