Dotfiles

TODO: Screenshots

Usage

If you want to mimic my entire setup, follow my Arch Linux and Fedora guides. If you only want to try some of my dotfiles, continue reading below.

Step 1. Clone this repository

Add --depth 1 to only fetch the latest commit.

git clone https://github.com/GloverDonovan/dotfiles.git --depth 1

Step 2. Install stow

• Arch Linux: pacman -S stow
• Fedora: dnf install stow

Step 3. Install the dotfiles you want

For example, to use my vim config, run:

make package=vim

Since my dotfiles are managed with Stow, any of your existing dotfiles will not be overridden or changed.

List of dotfiles

• bspwm - All the config files relating to my window manager setup.
• code - My config for Code, a reasonable editor for non-vim users.
• editorconfig - Spaces or tabs? Just use .editorconfig.
• extras - A collection of miscellaneous other dotfiles I use.
• fish - My settings for fish, the friendly interactive shell.
• git - The standard version control tool.
• gpg - My settings for GPG.
• plasma - Dotfiles specific to KDE Plasma.
• systemd - User services, such as ssh-agent and urxvtd.
• tmux - A vim-like terminal multiplexer that gets out of your way.
• vim - The settings I use for vim, also known as the best editor.
• xmodmap - Make caps lock function as ctrl and escape.

Uninstall

For example, to uninstall my .vimrc, use make uninstall package=vim. Stow will only remove what it owns.
