Dotfiles

This repository is work in progress and is not guaranteed to work.

The goal of this repository is for me to be able to have a custom, efficient and reproducible system that can be easily installed.

These are my Linux Arch dotfiles managed by GNU Stow. The dotfiles can located anywhere in your home folder but I prefer to put everything into a ~/.dotfiles folder. Call make inside the folder which will automatically generate symbolic links from the dotfiles folder to your home folder. The advantage of this is that it allows for all the dotfiles to be located within the same folder under version control whilst still allowing a system to find the various configurations. To undo all the symbolic links, run make delete.

Software

All packages that I install can be found in applications.md.

Installing

1. install-system.sh - Installs the base Linux Arch system
2. install-user.sh - Installs dotfiles and applications.

Useful commands

• Packages installed from all repositories pacman -Qe
• Packages installed from AUR repository pacman -Qem

Tasks

• Linux Arch base install script
• Package install script
• Package configuration script
• User dotfiles
• Prebuilt ISO via archiso

One of my goals is to package everything into a prebuilt Arch ISO file. This would allow me to install the system with everything preconfigured.
