kpetrucena dotfiles

These are my personal dotfiles. Feel free to look around but don't expect anything good.

getting started

Create a .dotfiles folder:

git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles

Crate an alias dotfiles so you don't need to type it all over again:

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME

Set git status to hide untracked files:

dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

usage

Now you can use regular git commands such as:

dotfiles status
dotfiles add .config/neovim
dotfiles commit -m "add neovim"
dotfiles push

setup environment in a new computer

Clone the github repository:

git clone --bare https://github.com/KrisjanisP/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

Checkout the actual content from the git repository:

dotfiles checkout

additional notes

Because the alacritty config requires specific fonts to be installed, I have added the script ./scripts/setup-fonts.sh.

The script downloads FiraCode Nerd Font zip file into a temporary directory, unzips the archive and moves .ttf and .otf files into ${HOME}/.fonts. Afterwards it refreshes font cache.
