My dotfiles

This directory contains the dotfiles for my system

Requirements

Ensure you have the following installed on your system

Git

sudo dnf git

Stow

sudo dnf stow

Installation

First, check out the dotfiles repo in your $HOME directory using git

$ git clone https://github.com/devldm/dotfiles.git
$ cd dotfiles

then use GNU stow to create symlinks

$ stow .

Workflow

• Copy file / folder to dotfiles from .config (using cp command)
• run stow .

Potential issues

WARNING! stowing . would cause conflicts: * existing target is neither a link nor a directory:

This errors occurs if the files already exists in the place where we are trying to create the symlink. To avoid this use (when in the dotfiles repo)

stow --adopt .
