Dotfiles

My dotfiles

Using The Dotfiles

1. Install your favorite minimalist distro (I use Arch and Gentoo)

2. cd into your home directory and run these commands:

   alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
   
   echo ".dotfiles" >> .gitignore
   
   git clone --bare https://github.com/IsaacGerma/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
   
   alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
   
   config checkout
   

3. If config checkout fails, due to overwriting untracked files, move or delete those files and try it again.

Programs I Use

• Distro - Arch Linux, Gentoo
  • I use multiple machines, one with Gentoo
• Shell - bash
• Terminal - Alacritty, sometimes others
• Text editor - neovim
  • Vim plugins - vim-plug
• WM - i3, swayfx
• Status Bar - i3blocks
• Launcher - Rofi
• File Manager - lf and pcmanfm
• Browser - Librewolf
• Video Player - mpv
• Music - mpd + ncmpcpp
• RSS feed reader - newsboat
• Scripts - some borrowed, some original

Todo

• clean up i3 config, possibly split into multiple files
• setup such that preferred script menu (ie dmenu or rofi) can be changed system-wide. This could probably use environment variables in .*profile

Many scripts and config files are borrowed from :

• Tatsumoto Ren
• Luke Smith

The process seen here for managing dotfiles was taken from Atlassian:
