.dotfiles

The repo contains most of my linux config files and is intended to be installed with GNU stow.

Installation

Clone this repo with

git clone --recursive https://github.com/matsixfive/.dotfiles.git

Make sure a submodules are cloned if --recursive was not used by running

git submodule update --init --recursive

Install stow. e.g. on arch:

sudo pacman -S stow

This repo must be a direct chuild of the home directory e.g. ~/.dotfiles.

To install the dotfiles, enter the repo root (~/.dotfiles) and run:

stow .

It is important to run this in the root of the repo and not in a subdirectory. This will create soft links for all files in the ~/.dotfiles directory to the parent ~ folowing the same structure:

~
├─ .config -> ...
│  ├ tmux -> ...
│  └ nvim -> ...
├─ .zshrc -> ...
└─ .dotfiles
   ├─ .config
   │  ├ tmux
   │  └ nvim
   └─ .zshrc

Notes

.config/nvim is a git submodule because I also use it on windows. The repo can be found here.
