install

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/FlyingBBQ/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

manage

Get GNU stow

sudo pacman -S stow or sudo apt install stow

Then:

cd ~/.dotfiles
# the contents (dotfiles) of these directories are symlinked to ~/
stow xorg zsh

cd ~/.dotfiles/config
# create symlinks in the target directory ~/.config
stow -t ~/.config dunst nvim ranger

To remove:

cd ~/.dotfiles
stow -D zsh

cd ~/.dotfiles/config
stow -t ~/.config -D ranger

Note: you can use an alias like stowc='stow -t ~/.config' to manage ~/.dotfiles/config

suckless good

I use some suckless software which I forked and added as a submodules to this repository. The forked repositories come with some added patches which I personally like. Dependencies for building this software are make and a C compiler.

cd ~/.dotfiles/suckless/dwm
make

This will create a config.h which you can modify to your liking. Install with: sudo make clean install.

Or you can switch to a branch which already contains a config.h

startup

If you use my xorg configuration there will be a .xinitrc which starts dwm when you run startx. This .xinitrc also looks for a file ~/.startup_local, which is executed when found. Use this script to auto start any programs you like, for example:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

xsetroot -solid '#504945'

neovim

My nvim configuration is a separate repository added as submodule. It is not compatible anymore with vim since it is (partly) written in lua.

1. nvim
