Usage

Replicate my Arch Linux setup

On a fresh Arch Linux install, run the bootstrap script.

git clone https:///github.com/GloverDonovan/dotfiles --depth 1 && ./dotfiles/.archlinux/bootstrap.sh

Replicate my Fedora setup

On a fresh Fedora install, run the bootstrap script.

git clone https://github.com/GloverDonovan/dotfiles --depth 1 && ./dotfiles/.fedora/bootstrap.sh

Use only the dotfiles you want

Method 1. With stow

First, install stow with your package manager. Then, run the following:

make package=kitty

This will symlink my kitty config to your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. If you want to install a different package, simply replace kitty with the name of the directory you wish to get dotfiles from.

Since stow will only change what it owns, you do not have to worry about any of your existing dotfiles being changed when you use this method.

To uninstall packages, simply use:

make uninstall package=kitty

This will remove the symlink to my kitty config. If you have other kitty files, stow will not remove them, since stow only changes what it owns.

Method 2. Manually

If you already have dotfiles and want to improve them, you can use this repository as a guide. If you find something that makes your dotfiles better, you're free to use it.

If you don't want to use stow, you can simply copy/paste the dotfiles you want to their relevant directories.
