dotfiles

My Arch Installation Guide is moved to codeberg/github

Usage

# Clone this repository on codeberg
git clone https://codeberg.org/unixchad/dotfiles
# Or on github
git clone https://github.com/gnuunixchad/dotfiles
# Create symlinks with GNU Stow
cd dotfiles
stow -t ~ . --adopt

Note

A few software need manually setup:

• Software's config named to *.example for privacy reasons
• Software's config listed in ./.stow-local-ignore
• Software complied from source, e.g. my build of dwl(codeberg/github) and dam(codeberg/github).
• For software I don't use anymore(like sway), check the git tags.
