The idea for my current method of managing my dotfiles came from this blogpost, which in turn refers to this article.
Clone the repository
echo ".dotfiles" >> .gitignore
git clone https://github.com/Zaphoood/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles
Create an alias for managing the repository
alias dotcfg='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/.git --work-tree=$HOME'
dotcfg config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
- Editor: neovim with vim-plug as a plugin manager
- File explorer: ranger with Überzug
- Markdown viewer: glow
Thanks go out to Eric Murphy's, whose rofi theme I used for inspiration.
