Welcome to the dotfiles wiki!

About

This wiki is meant to help installing the dotfiles. Notice that the wiki isn't finished yet. I will make sure to work daily, if not, weekly on it until most things are explained.

Clean home directory:

As you might have noticed with my xinitrc and zshenv file, I hate cluttering my home directory with dotfiles. That's why I try to avoid them as much as possible.
Although this is often not recommended because it might ask too much work/hacks for what it's worth or it might even break some programmes in the process.

Installation

Here I will explain how to install the core functionalities of my rice.
I will assume that you have installed my repo in your home directory. Just after a clean Arch install and having followed the first 3 sections of General recommendations.

First make sure your user login shell is /bin/bash.

grep "^$USER" /etc/passwd| cut -d':' -f7

The reason for using bash over zsh is because the tty doesn't support glyphs making my zsh prompt unreadable when login into a tty.
In case you did set the user login shell to zsh:

usermod -s /bin/bash <username>
