dotfiles

This is my collection of configuration files. These are only fully tested on an Arch Linux system, however I also use most of these on Debian and FreeBSD systems.

This software is licensed under the MIT-0 license.

Installation

Stow

This repository is designed to have individual folders symlinked with the GNU Stow utility.

For this to work the dotfiles folder needs to be in the home directory (e.g. ~/dotfiles/). You can then simply cd into the dotfiles folder and stow a specific config folder to hook it up.

Example:

stow git

Manual symlinks

Some items may be better installed by manually crating symlinks for specific files. In particular, the ssh folder, so as to preserve the permissions and keep any keys out of the dotfiles git repo.

ln -s ssh/.ssh/config ~/.ssh/config
