About

Dotfiles for GNU/Linux (mostly Arch with a bit of Debian/Ubuntu). Currently managed with GNU Stow.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/neitsab/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
stow --verbose --dir=~/.dotfiles --target=$HOME [subdir1 subdir2 ...] --simulate
stow --verbose --dir=~/.dotfiles --target=$HOME --no-folding micro mpv --simulate

Once you are happy with the result, you can remove --simulate to apply the changes.

Important

Notice the --no-folding option in the second invocation: I separate out some configs where this option is needed (currently only micro and mpv), to only link the files themselves instead of their containing folder, and thus avoid getting extraneous files/directories I don't want tracked in my repo. See the manual for more information.

If you want to uninstall some configs, simply run stow --verbose --dir=~/.dotfiles --target=$HOME --delete <config list> [--simulate] et voilà.

Note

The ssh directory is a private submodule (because I'm uncomfortable putting my SSH config on the public Internet 😁). It should just result in an empty ssh directory for anybody else (if it doesn't please let me know 😵).
