Tim Clifford's personal config files

Warning!

I use my own keyboard layout (based on colemak) so there are many mappings in here which don't make sense for most people.

Organisation

Everything is tracked in this repo (which should exist at $HOME/.config), and anything starting with a . is symlinked into $HOME by install.sh

See also my vim and firefox configs, which can be installed with install.sh. Anything automatically put in my $HOME/.config by packages which I haven't configured will be in the gitignore.

The user will be prompted to install packages from pkglist.conf, separated by the comment header.

Metaconfiguration

The system of metaconfiguration employed here allows for different but linked configurations between machines. This is configured both by a configuration file at metaconfig/hostname.metaconf (which defines global identifiers to replace), and any file ending with .METACONF_FILE_APPEND_hostname, which will be appended to the base file for that specific machine.

Usage

Usage: ./install.sh [OPTION]...
Install or update configurations

When the installation is finished, a new commit will be made to distinguish
between the application of metaconfigurations and any further changes.
