Set up your dotfiles, SSH keys
Customizations and Dotfiles #
DevZero understands that customizing the look, feel, and toolchain of a developer’s environment is important and provides two mechanisms to do that.
First, is a user-policy which mimic the functionality and syntax of our template scriptpolicy YAML stanza. This allows a developer to customize what tools and binaries are provisioned on every environment a developer creates, regardless of the template it was created based on. You can find this setting by:
- Login to https://console.devzero.io
- Click the gear icon, ⚙, in upper right
- Under “Personal Settings”, click “Customizations”
Secondly, it is common to use dotfiles as a way to provide customizations for various tools. These are most commonly found in a user's home directory. DevZero environments allow a user to set a URL to a public GitHub repository that has a user’s dotfiles in them, which are then added to the user’s home directory on their DevZero development environment. You can find this setting by:
- Login to https://console.devzero.io
- Click the gear icon, ⚙, in upper right
- Under “Personal Settings”, click “Customizations”
SSH Keys #
In order to connect from your laptop to your DevZero environment, you must provide us a public SSH key. The interface, including instructions on how to do this can be found:
- Login to https://console.devzero.io
- Click the gear icon, ⚙, in upper right
- Under “Personal Settings”, click “SSH Keys”
