Dotfiles (outdated, see source for now)
I've written a little tool to manage my dotfiles, in a way that it symlinks
everything to where it should be. As I use patched versions of st and dwm
some parts of my dotfiles doesn't make sense if you don't use my versions of
st and dwm , but they are not prerequisites.
Containers
I store my dotfiles in containers for each category of dotfiles, and each
container can be seen as their own representation of $HOME . There is for
example one container called vim containing everything that has to do with
vim and so on.
Components
- link: installer and uninstaller for the dotfiles.
- bin: scripts and programs that will be included in
$PATH .
- bin/.bin/alias: scripts that will be sourced as functions instead of
using aliases, as I find it simpler to maintain each 'alias' as it's own file.
- .exclude: dotfiles that are global to the root and that won't get
symlinked into
$HOME .
- ksh: KornShell is quite central to my dotfiles and contains functions
that require bin and bin/.bin/alias to be installed. .kshrc is called
when KornShell starts and then sources every .sh in .kshrc.d.
other containers
- cdm
- git
- input
- mbsync
- mpv
- msmtp
- mutt
- newsboat
- ssh
- surf
- sxhkd
- sxiv
- themes
- tmux
- vifm
- vim
- vimb
- x
Prerequisites
I haven't actively integrated any dependency checks in any dotfile so if you
use my dotfiles keep in mind that it might break stuff, and you might need to
install extra software to make it work. If you find any such issues feel free
to report them to me, and I might fix them.
Oh, and I use ksh (loksh). That is kind of a prerequisite...
Installation
Installation is pretty simple. Just clone and install:
git clone git://git.noxz.tech/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
# optionally: mv dotfiles .dotfiles && cd .dotfiles
./link install all
Except for installing all you can tell link to install just the container
for vim ./link install vim and so on. To remove a container simply ./link
remove vim , or show status using ./link status vim
