dotfiles

Universal config files for my linux desktop environments. Managed with GNU stow and the home-baked arch-requirements format (honestly kinda came out of the blue and now its like a big deal idk)

Installation

Submodules

This repo contains submodules. These are not pulled with the default clone command. Initialise them with:

git submodule update --init

or clone with them:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.codebased.xyz/bytequill/dotfiles.git

Applying config

Using GNU Stow you can easily apply configs provided by this repo You can either run the script stow.sh or execute the below manually:

stow --target $HOME .

Getting packages (arch)

If you are on arch linux, you can easily install all packages needed to make these configs work (if I missed something please file an issue/PR)
Note that the (home made) arch-requirements file format supports comments with # you need the grep part of below commands
Helper scripts for this format will be available in another repository in the future (because I made a few creating this and will thus probably share)

pacman

Since the current list does not include any AUR packages. You can freely use pacman to sync all your packages. This can change in the future as I do not put much importance on keeping packages in main repos!! To accomplish an install of all requirements and sync repos just run:

pacman -Sy $(
  sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' \
      arch-requirements \
  | grep -v '^$'
)

yay

Since yay is backwards compatible with pacman. The command needed is the exact same just using yay:

yay -Sy $(
  sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' \
      arch-requirements \
  | grep -v '^$'
)

note

.oh-my-zsh inclusion

I would rather not have included the .oh-my-zsh submodule in this repo, however the official install script overwrites .zshrc and I wanted a plug-and-play experience without having to do any manual intervention/extra steps
