My dotfiles

Requirements

Ensure git is installed.

Clone the repository

First, clone to $HOME directory and cd into it.

git clone https://github.com/Avanta8/dotfiles.git "$HOME/dotfiles"
cd $HOME/dotfiles

Then initialise submodules.

git submodule update --init

Install apt tools

./scripts/apttools.sh

This will ensure that stow is installed.

Symlink using stow

This is a hack to get stow to remove existing files in the $HOME directory. Use at own risk!
Make sure you run this from inside the dotfiles directory.

mkdir ~/.config
stow . --adopt
git reset --hard
stow .

Programs

Programs can be installed by

./scripts/programs.sh

Now you are finished!

Selectively install programs

Programs can also be selectively installed. For example

./scripts/programs/blesh.sh

How to use stow

To add a new file, create the file in the relevant path inside the dotfiles directory. Then, run stow . inside the top level dotfiles directory.
