This README describes GNU Stow. This is not the definitive
documentation for Stow; for that, see the [info
manual](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/manual/).
## Intro
Stow is a symlink farm manager program which takes distinct sets
of software and/or data located in separate directories on the
filesystem, and makes them all appear to be installed in a single
directory tree.
My personal dot files, that I use to quickly configure a Linux environment on desktop and server instances.
[Dotbot](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) is being used to create symlinks in all the right places.
Originally Stow was born to address the need to administer, upgrade,
install, and remove files in independent software packages without
confusing them with other files sharing the same file system space.
For instance, many years ago it used to be common to compile programs
such as Perl and Emacs from source and install them in `/usr/local`.
By using Stow, `/usr/local/bin` could contain symlinks to files within
`/usr/local/stow/emacs/bin`, `/usr/local/stow/perl/bin` etc., and
likewise recursively for any other subdirectories such as `.../share`,
`.../man`, and so on.
Tested and used on Ubuntu, Arch Linux and Manjaro.
While this is useful for keeping track of system-wide and per-user
installations of software built from source, in more recent times
software packages are often managed by more sophisticated package
management software such as
[`rpm`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpm_(software)),
[`dpkg`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dpkg), and
[Nix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_package_manager) / [GNU
Guix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Guix), or language-native
package managers such as Ruby's
[`gem`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RubyGems), Python's
[`pip`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_(package_manager)),
Javascript's [`npm`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_(software)),
and so on.
---
However Stow is still used not only for software package management,
but also for other purposes, such as facilitating [a more controlled
approach to management of configuration files in the user's home
directory](http://brandon.invergo.net/news/2012-05-26-using-gnu-stow-to-manage-your-dotfiles.html),
especially when [coupled with version control
systems](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-stow/2011-12/msg00000.html).
## Setup
Stow was inspired by Carnegie Mellon's Depot program, but is
substantially simpler and safer. Whereas Depot required database files
to keep things in sync, Stow stores no extra state between runs, so
there's no danger (as there was in Depot) of mangling directories when
file hierarchies don't match the database. Also unlike Depot, Stow will
never delete any files, directories, or links that appear in a Stow
directory (e.g., `/usr/local/stow/emacs`), so it's always possible
to rebuild the target tree (e.g., `/usr/local`).
To setup, just clone the repo, cd into it, and run the install script.
Stow is implemented as a combination of a Perl script providing a CLI
interface, and a backend Perl module which does most of the work.
```
git clone git@github.com:Lissy93/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./install.sh
```

## Configuring
License
-------
Configuration is specified in `.install.conf.yaml` and managed with [Dotbot](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot).
Stow is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License,
which can be found in the file [`COPYING`](COPYING).
The bootstrap configurations are idempotent (and so the installer can be run multiple times without causing any problems).
Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
notice and this notice are preserved. This file is offered as-is,
without any warranty.
To only install certain parts of the config, pass the `--only` flag to the install.sh script, similarly `--except` can be used to exclude certain directives.
Installation
------------
---
See [`INSTALL.md`](INSTALL.md) for installation instructions.
## Dependencies
Feedback
--------
These dot files make use of the following packages, and hence they are required
Please do send comments, questions, and constructive criticism. The
mailing lists and any other communication channels are detailed on the
above home page.
- [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/) - Interactive Shell
- [vim](https://www.vim.org/) - Fast, solid customizable text editor
- [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux) - Detachable terminal multiplexer
- [ranger](https://ranger.github.io/) - CLI-based file manager with VI bindings
- [git](https://git-scm.com/) - Version control system
Brief history and authorship
----------------------------
They can be easily installed/ updated with your package manger, e.g:
- Ubuntu Server: `sudo apt install -y zsh vim tmux ranger git`
- Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S zsh vim tmux ranger git`

## Documentation
For a more detailed history, please see the `ChangeLog` file.
The following section briefly explains the configuration and plug-ins for the main components (Tmux, Vim and Zsh)
### Tmux
Fairly standard Tmux configuration, strongly based off Tmux-sensible. Configuration is defined in [`.tmux.conf`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux/tmux.conf)
Tmux plugins are managed using [TMP](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) and defined in [`.tmux.conf`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux/tmux.conf). To install them from GitHub, run `prefix` + <kbd>I</kbd> from within Tmux, and they will be cloned int `~/.tmux/plugins/`.

#### Plugins
Vim plugins are managed using [Plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) defined in [`vim/plugins.vim`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/plugins.vim).
