🌿 ‎ About

Hey there! 👋

This is my personal dotfiles repository.

I created this repo to help me backup my config files and to easily deploy them in a new machine with the help of Ansible and yadm. It has some files exclusive to my personal use (programming, gaming, etc) so it's not just a rice.

At first I didn't think about ricing but more and more, my focus has got into creating a good and aesthetic rice, with a lot of customization, as well as maintaining the easy deploy and use for my multiple machines.

If you wanna know how to install them, go to the setup section. There is a guided installation.

I've been working on this for a long time so I hope you like it!

📦 Manual Installation

Note

The names of the packages are from the AUR and Arch Repos; adapt them to your system. Most of the packages are available on other distros official repos (most of the time out-to-date). For CLI/TUI specific packages I recommend to use homebrew.

1. First, lets start with the required base packages for the configuration to function. Assuming you're running Arch Linux, and your AUR helper is yay:

   yay -Sy hyprland hyprlock hypridle xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland hyprpicker \
           swww waybar wleave-git rofi-wayland swaync swayosd-git wl-clipboard \
           pyprland qt5ct pavucontrol cliphist playerctl udiskie devify fzf jq eza fd \
           catppuccin-gtk-theme-macchiato catppuccin-cursors-macchiato cava slurp grim

   On the first line we have the hypr ecosystem packages and on the other lines we have the must have packages.

2. Now lets move to the Optional Packages (If you dont want to install any more packages, move to the 3th step)

   • Replaceable Packages

   yay -Sy yazi nemo kitty ttf-ms-win11-auto ttf-jetbrainsmono-nerd zathura geeqie \
           ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-mono mpv

   Here we have some packages that you can replace with your favorite ones and are not required at all for the desktop to function (though it wont look the same). For example, the terminal (kitty), the file manager (nemo and yazi), the font (ttf-jetbrainsmono-nerd), the video player (mpv), etc.

   • Bluetooth

   yay -Sy bluez bluez-utils blueman

   After installing the required packages, we have to start the Bluetooth service. With systemd is pretty straightforward:

   systemctl --user enable bluetooth.service
   systemctl --user start bluetooth.service

   • Useful CLI/TUI packages

   yay -Sy ripgrep riprep-all sd duf nvtop btop dua-cli bat pacseek tgpt-bin sysz gtrash-bin topgrade fastfetch

   • Useful GUI packages

   yay -Sy pika-backup vesktop-bin nwg-displays nwg-look gnome-logs galculator gparted nm-connection-editor satty

3. Installing the dotfiles: Firstly, clone this repository (remember to have git installed).

   git clone --depth 1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Matt-FTW/dotfiles.git
   cd dotfiles && git submodule update --remote --merge

   Now is time to copy the files into their respective directories. Be sure to backup your existing configuration files before copying the files. Once you have that, its time to copy the config files.

   cp -r .config/* ~/.config/
   cp -r .local/bin/* ~/.local/bin/
   cp .czrc ~/

   If you installed the fonts mentioned earlier, be sure to refresh the font cache.

   fc-cache -fv

Congratulations, at this point your done installing the configuration! 🎉

Logout from your current desktop session and log back into the Hyprland session.

If you had any issues or you have some questions about the installation process, feel free to open an issue or a new discussion post

🎉 ‎ Credits

Big thanks to everyone at r/unixporn for inspiring me to make this!

I wanna point out some resources that helped me the most with the setup:

• ArchWiki for all the awesome documentation and for helping me to not lose my mind.
• Folke for his amazing contributions to the Neovim community with some awesome plugins and with the distro that i use: LazyVim. Also, his READMEs and dotfiles are amazing!
• Yoru's README to help me with the distribution of the README.
• Amadeus Dots for helping me with the startup setup of the Hyprland WM.
• Hyprdots for helping me to take ideas from their work. Also, their setup is the best one I've ever seen for Hyprland; it's pretty awesome!.
• Catppuccin for making the Best Colorscheme Ever 🖌️
• Github-issue-templates for the some of the markdown templates of the repo.

Those were the biggest inspiring factor for me, though you can find a lot more of setups that helped me in my list of favorite dotfiles from the Stars section of my Github Profile: Check it out!
