## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
I did my best to make the configuration self-documenting. You should be able to go through the files and understand how they work.
|
||||
### app/
|
||||
|
||||
- `app/` - All the files used to run my local server
|
||||
- `dotfiles/` - All the dotfiles used to configure the system
|
||||
- `etc/` - Other config files that don't exactly have definite paths
|
||||
- [`userChrome.css`](etc/userChrome.css) - A bare-minimum browser that emphasizes keyboard usage
|
||||
- `grub/` - A nice theme for grub
|
||||
- `help/` - All the important things I want to remember when using my system
|
||||
- [`vim.md`](help/vim.md) - A complete reference to everything I know (and find worth mentioning) about vim
|
||||
- `src/` - Small programs I use to handle my specific needs
|
||||
The views for my local server end up here.
|
||||
|
||||
Summary of the other directories:
|
||||
#### views
|
||||
|
||||
- [`index.ecr`](app/views/index.ecr) - Simple home page, clean and elegant
|
||||
|
||||
### dotfiles/
|
||||
|
||||
I know how frustrating it is to see a setup and not have access to the dotfiles. I also know how frustrating it is to go through dotfiles with default config settings everywhere or dotfiles with little to no documentation at all.
|
||||
|
||||
My goal here is simple: use as few config settings as possible required to make everything work, and document the settings that I do use. Your "config" file shouldn't be a `man` page!
|
||||
|
||||
- [`cmus/rc`](dotfiles/.config/cmus/rc)
|
||||
- [`fontconfig/fonts.conf`](dotfiles/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf)
|
||||
- [`feh/keys`](dotfiles/.config/feh/keys)
|
||||
- [`gtk-3.0/gtk.css`](dotfiles/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css)
|
||||
|
||||
#### mpv
|
||||
|
||||
- [`input.conf`](dotfiles/.config/mpv/input.conf)
|
||||
- [`mpv.conf`](dotfiles/.config/mpv/mpv.conf)
|
||||
|
||||
#### polybar
|
||||
|
||||
- [`config`](dotfiles/.config/polybar/config)
|
||||
- [`cmus.sh`](dotfiles/.config/polybar/cmus.sh)
|
||||
- [`launch.sh`](dotfiles/.config/polybar/launch.sh)
|
||||
|
||||
#### zsh
|
||||
|
||||
- [`.zshrc`](dotfiles/.zshrc)
|
||||
- [`.zsh_aliases`](dotfiles/.zsh_aliases)
|
||||
- [`.zsh_functions`](dotfiles/.zsh_functions)
|
||||
- [`.zprofile`](dotfiles/.zprofile)
|
||||
|
||||
Relevant but not-so-interesting entries include:
|
||||
|
||||
- [`.ctags`](dotfiles/.ctags)
|
||||
- [`.dircolors`](dotfiles/.dircolors)
|
||||
- [`.mailcap`](dotfiles/.mailcap)
|
||||
- [`.tmux.conf`](dotfiles/.tmux.conf) - I don't actually *use* tmux, but I do use it to keep cmus running in the background.
|
||||
- [`.xmodmap`](dotfiles/.xmodmap)
|
||||
|
||||
### etc/
|
||||
|
||||
All config files that don't have definite paths in `~` end up here.
|
||||
|
||||
- [`userChrome.css`](etc/userChrome.css) - A bare-minimum browser that emphasizes keyboard usage
|
||||
- [`user.js`](etc/user.js) - Settings to make using the browser a more pleasurable experience
|
||||
|
||||
### help/
|
||||
|
||||
Help files are a way for me to keep track of all the useful commands I learn about certain software. They're compiled in easy-to-read files so I don't have to search the same thing over and over.
|
||||
|
||||
- [`commands.md`](help/commands.md) - The majority of terminal commands I use on a daily basis
|
||||
- [`git.md`](help/git.md) - There's a lot more to Git than you think (no pun intended)
|
||||
- [`gpg.md`](help/gpg.md) - Everything you need to know about GPG
|
||||
- [`profanity.md`](help/profanity.md) - A primer on using XMPP with Profanity
|
||||
- [`vim.md`](help/vim.md) - A complete reference to everything I know (and find worth mentioning) about vim
|
||||
|
||||
### src/
|
||||
|
||||
This directory holds custom software that I made specifically for my use case. Feel free to use them for inspiration.
|
||||
|
||||
- [`git-blame.cr`](src/git-blame.cr) - A colorful version of `git blame`
|
||||
- [`maid.cr`](src/maid.cr) - This program is in charge of managing all my dotfiles
|
||||
- [`mktex.cr`](src/mktex.cr) - This program handles compiling my LaTeX files into PDF papers. It keeps intermediary files in a separate directory from everything else
|
||||
- [`pass.cr`](src/pass.cr) - A simple password manager
|
||||
- [`server.cr`](src/server.cr) - Handles the logic behind my local server
|
||||
- [`theme.cr`](src/theme.cr) - Easily change color schemes across everything, including polybar, termite, and open terminal windows. Support for base16 color schemes as well as custom color schemes
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you should run `crystal docs` in the root directory if you want to view the documentation for these files in a nice format.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Directories
|
||||
|
||||
The other directories may not be as interesting to go through, but each one has a purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
- `bin/` - Output directory for compiled binaries from `src`
|
||||
- `docs/` - Output directory for compiled documentation from `src`
|
||||
- `external/` - Also known as "not my files", these files reside in the external directory so they don't count towards GitHub's language algorithm
|
||||
- `grub/` - A nice theme for grub
|
||||
- `install/` - Scripts to automate installing the system with the Arch ISO
|
||||
- `packages.sh` - All of the packages I use (and why) from the official repos
|
||||
- `lib/` - Output directory for the libraries used by `src`

## Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
This is a big project; I may have let some things slip through such as typos or other errors. If you want to improve the help files or other parts of the project then please file an issue first. Pull requests are accepted, but I'd prefer if you made an issue first!

[Many users mistakenly use "Linux" without knowing that they're actually using GNU](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-users-never-heard-of-gnu.html). I was a victim of this. I used a variety of "Linux" distributions in the past and had no idea what a "GNU" even was. Please help spread the word about the GNU Project.
|
||||
|
||||
[Free software is more than just gratis](#). We need to educate our population about free software. A lot of the software I preferred to use in the past was free software yet I never understood the true meaning of "free software" nor the philosophy behind it.
