Repository files navigation

This repository contains all of my dotfiles configuration.

These dotfiles allow me to make my daily life easier by saving me timeand easily meeting my needs.

I try to keep these dotfiles tidy and up to date. I invite you to takea look at it to get different ideas for your dotfiles and why notleave comments, suggestions, questions and bug reports if somethingseems odd to you.

Finally, this repository haswiki pages to better understandsome of the choices I have made and allow me to answer any questions you mayhave have about these dotfiles. Feel free to visit them ☺

NOTE: it is still possible to access myolddotfiles that I nolonger use, in case they can help you.

I structured my dotfiles so that the user's home is as clean aspossible in accordance with theXDG base directoryspecification.

In other words, this means that the following environment variablesare defined:

NOTE:XDG_BIN_HOME andXDG_LIB_HOME are non-standard.

I'm usingGNU Stow a free, lightweightdotfiles manager written in Perl to manages my dotfiles.

What's make differentiates it from other dotfiles managers is that it doesnot require various Python, Ruby or Perl dependencies like most dotfilesmanager.

With that, it is easy to share files among multiple users or computers with afew command lines.

No matter what your Linux distribution,stow can easily be installed accordingto your package manager:

sudo pacman -S stowsudo apt-get install stow

For macOS users:

brew install stow

Once the installation is complete, make a clone of the repository:

git clone https://github.com/rememberYou/dotfiles.git .dotfiles

You can now install any configurations you wish to copy using GNU Stow:

# Make sure you are in the right directorycd .dotfiles# Example to install the sway configstow sway# Uninstall the sway configstow -D sway

If you want to install all the configurations, you can do it directlywithstowsym.sh:

# Change permission to execute the scriptchmod +x stowsym.sh# Installation of configuration files./stowsym.sh -i# Deleting of configuration files./stowsym.sh -d

Easy, isn't it? For those who want to find my GNU Emacs configurationfiles, they are available:here.

For the configuration ofzsh andbash, you will need to create twosymbolic aliases:

ln -s~/.config/bash/.bashrc~ln -s~/.config/zsh/zshenv .zshenv

The reasons for this are thatbash andzsh do not allow thepossibility to follow the specifications of the XDG base directory.

NOTE: the.bashrc file cannot be renamed tobashrc except for a fewsystem manipulations, which is not what I recommend.

Various functions may be optimized or spelling errors may occur. If you want tomake your own correction on these dotfiles, you are free to do so.

Please note that I can't guarantee that your changes will be accepted.

The code is unlicensed, take what you like.
