dotfiles

Dotfiles for Arch Linux configuration.

Usage

0. Install Arch Linux.

1. Install Git:

$ sudo pacman -S git

2. Clone this repository to ~/.dotfiles:

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/talhaahussain/dotfiles.git .dotfiles
$ cd .dotfiles

3. Use pacman to install all packages from pkglist.txt:

$ pacman -S --needed - < pkglist.txt

4. Use stow_all.sh to symlink dotfiles to home directory:

$ bash stow_all.sh

Note: these dotfiles make configurations available for three window managers (xmonad, awesomewm, i3). Window manager can be selected in /xinit/.xinitrc, with editing the final line such that it reads exec <WM OF CHOICE>. Currently, xmonad is the selected window manager.

After performing an Arch update, write $ xmonad --recompile to fix a failing startx run.
