    Have something that’s only for you or your team? Make it a sibling project instead.

Migrations

Getting a change to existing machines.

Changes to install.sh only reach new installs. If existing machines need the change too, also add a migration: a script named after the current time,

migrations/$(date +%s).sh

that update runs once on each machine. It may also run on fresh installs, so make it safe to repeat.

Thanks

Standing on good shoulders.

Most of the heavy lifting is done by Arch Linux, and to that distribution we send much gratitude. Arch lets us get on with building, instead of waiting for upstream changes and fixes.

These scripts are based on the initial work of Typecraft.
