🌸 Nishimiya's Dotfiles Bootstrap Script 🌸

This repository contains a bootstrap script to set up a new Arch Linux machine with my preferred packages and configurations. The script installs yay (AUR helper), clones my dotfiles repository, installs packages, copies configurations, and configures the Arch Linux mirror list.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A fresh installation of Arch Linux. (Recommended)
• Internet connection.

Caution

Best Run on Minimal Arch Linux-based Distributions
This script is designed to be run on minimal Arch Linux-based systems. Running it on a more customized setup may lead to conflicts or issues with existing configurations.

Configuration Overwrite Warning
This script does not backup your existing user configurations. It will most likely overwrite or cause conflicts with any existing configurations in your home directory. Be cautious if you have custom settings already in place.

Important

No Automatic Uninstall for Dotfiles
