Dotfiles

Probably overkill, but I like devops 🚀

Contains various configuration files for Linux programs, among which:

• Kitty
• NeoVim (yes, I use both)
• Dunst
• Emacs (yes, I use both)

Usage

install.sh <TARGET_DIR> <NUKE> will create symlinks of the files/folders in the dotfiles folder in the TARGET_DIR, and will create symlinks of the files/folders in config in TARGET_DIR/.config.

There are often more programs in the .config folder than you'd like to track changes for, which is why these are separate

By default TARGET_DIR will be the $HOME folder. The setting is mainly there for testing. If you want to overwrite existing program configs and other dotfiles, this can be done by making the last argument NUKE. This will delete any conflicts when trying to make the symlinks.

Installation

I recommend cloning the repo into a folder called .dotfiles in your directory

$ git clone https://www.github.com/zoharcochavi/dotfiles "$HOME"/.dotfiles

If you want to only use your own dot- and config files, you can do the following (assuming you've cloned into $HOME/.dotfiles).

$ rm -r "$HOME"/.dotfiles/dotfiles/.* && rm -r "$HOME"/.dotfiles/config/*

Then move all the required files into dotfiles and config. For example:

$ mv .fehbg .xinitrc "$HOME"/.dotfiles/dotfiles/
$ mv .config/nvim "$HOME"/.dotfiles/config

If you've succesfully copied your own dotfiles or just want to use mine (feel free to!):

$ "$HOME"/.dotfiles/install.sh

Remember that if you want to overwrite all existing dotfiles, you can also

$ "$HOME"/.dotfiles/install.sh NUKE

However, do so only at your own risk!
