My personal configuration files and scripts used under both Arch Linux, Ubuntu and Debian machines. Currently running sway window manager with waybar, wofi application launcher, and alacritty terminal. Utilizes Zinit for Zsh plugin management and binary utilities installation.
Based on the nord colorscheme and managed by yadm.
I previously used a simple solution to keep my dotfiles under version control which I found on the Atlassian developer blog. This technique is great since according to comments requires:
No extra tooling, no symlinks, files are tracked on a version control system, you can use different branches for different computers, you can replicate you configuration easily on new installation.
However, recently I found yadm, Yet Another Dotfiles Manager, which embraces the same underlying idea but adds a user-friendly interface.
First setup GitHub CLI and login.
$ gh auth loginInstall dependencies using yay or other AUR helper.
$ yay -Syu alacritty zsh curl git sway yadm-git waybar wofi jqDebian and Ubuntu does not provide all dependencies needed in the official repositories unfortunately.
$ sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install -y zsh curl git yadm jqInstall dotfiles.
yadm clone https://github.com/AntonFriberg/dotfiles.git
yadm decrypt
