dotfiles

This is my collection of dotfiles.

They can individually be installed using stow (instructions below).

Dot Packages

1. env
   • General enviroment: aliases, exports, variables, etc
2. i3
   • Config for the i3 tiling window manager
3. vim
   • Configuration for the vim text editor
4. zsh
   • Configuration for the zsh shell

Base Packages

First, run the install_common.sh script which installs a few base utilities:

$ ./install_common.sh

Primarily, it installs GNU Stow which is needed to install packages in this repo. is a tool used to manage the dot files as individual packages. It's handy for pretty much all config management.

Other basic packages include:

• vim (with cmake for YCM)
• git
• zsh

Installing Dot-File Packages

See the above list of available dot-packages.

Once in the directory of this repository (after cloning):

stow {package}

This symlinks the files into their correct place. Any changes to the files will change the files in this repo.

When changes are made, simply commit the changes.

Vim

vim requires extra configuration due to YouCompleteMe.

All plugins and YCM will be installed using the included script:

~/.vim_install.sh {optional YCM install.py args}

For an install that supports clang, go, and rust:

~/.vim_install.sh --clang-completer --go-completer --rust-completer
