I'm working on a setup script. You can just clone the repo for now and then manually move things where they belong.
Something like
git clone https://github.com/cherrynoize/dotfiles
mv -n dotfiles/* ~
mv -n dotfiles/.* ~
should generally work. Please note that I've added the -n
no-clobber flag in mv commands, meaning existing files won't
be replaced and you should manually take care of that.
You also need to run
./setup.sh
from the repo directory. This is just a stub for a full installer
which should replace this README section entirely.
From now on you can just run
cfg pull
and it should automatically update your dotfiles. (Please take care of your own unstaged changes.)
You should copy the .github/initrc file somewhere and source it
during startup. It provides configuration used all over the
place. To do this you can add something like:
[ -f ~/.initrc ] && . ~/.initrc
to your ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xprofile or whatever does the
magic for you.
~/.initrc is the recommended location, as that would be the
default install path once an installation script is completed.
Right now it's just a stub, but I plan on condensing dotfiles-wide config as much as possible into this file.
This config uses wpgtk
for easier global theming and automatic colorscheme generation
with pywal.
You're going to need to refer to the wiki if you want to start editing themes or creating your own.
Also, for better portability template symlinks are not hardcoded
and can be (re-)generated at anytime using fix-wpg-templates.
You might want to place your own profile picture inside of
~/.pfp. It can be any picture file with any name, such as
~/.pfp/pfp.jpg.
The nvim configuration is based upon AstroNvim,
an IDE layer for Neovim. Check out the docs
for info about configuration.
The repo also includes a large collection of shell scripts, some
collected around the internet, but most of
them are actually mine. Being each few hundreds LOC tops,
they're not very large (bin sits at 492K at the time of
writing - Nov. 16 2023), and since they're heavily integrated
into my everyday system usage and used in most of my
configuration it made little sense leaving them out (or
separating them).
Active development is currently only on fish. Config for other
shells such as bash or zsh is currently unmantained. They have
had previous support though and I occasionally work on bash
(whereas zsh is just some stolen configs), so the config files
are still there. (Not to mention bash is actually my current
login shell, fish gets launched from there.)
Themes are currently in alpha so please be nice. I'm setting up themes for all sorts of things though - it just takes some time.
To change themes:
switch-theme [thing-to-change-theme-for] [new-theme]
List items that have themes:
switch-theme -l
And finally list available themes for given item:
switch-theme [item] -l
A rofi GUI for global theme switching is a TODO thing. But
first switch-theme needs some more cleaning, in case you want to
contribute.
Official repo:
pacman -S bash
Optional (some are still needed for certain functionalities):
yay -S wpgtk pywalfox expect playerctl
or
paru -S wpgtk pywalfox expect playerctl
python packages (optional):
pipx install country-converter
Not in the AUR* (nor in the official repo) (optional):
*Do submit a PR or let me know if this is outdated.
You can find the whole configuration under
.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc, but this is just some basic commands to
get you started. Also to remember commands which are not bound
to any key (such as the text-editor launcher).
"$TERMINAL" # Super+shift

sudo privilege timeout for the shell is refreshed with sudo -v. fish already has an abbreviation set
to replace sudo with sudo -v; sudo so that it gets updated
each time. However, I find that cumbersome as well as annoying
to have that prefix to each command and it doesn't work well
with auto-completion/suggestions as well as with other
abbreviations, so you can call sd rather than sudo
to avoid all that. (Also, in case you're wondering, you cannot
use a function because that would enter an infinite loop.)
In case it conflicts with other programs in your system, just use
sudo.
- Widget windows closers sometimes get stuck open, causing you to
accidentally open popup windows when clicking on other windows
rather than close them. To fix this you could restart
eww, but usually it's enough to click on the pfp icon that open the panel window once to open it, then a second time to close it. ewwtends to get on top of other windows after being restarted during the session. I still haven't found how I could prevent it from happening (all suggestions are welcome).
I currently use Spotify and as such I only set music
to fetch cover arts from Spotify metadata. I will try to expand
on this but, please, if anyone has a specific request provide me
with a metadata sample (output of playerctl --player="$player" metadata mpris:artUrl) and I'll add it.
- gh0stzk's dotfiles for inspiration as well as a lot of code stolen especially for the Rofi theme selector buttons
- wacca〇わっか for her amazing illustration collection (meranii theme)
- Auto memorize bar status (open or closed) between sessions
- Convert to a higher compression format
- Installation script
- Finish making initrc
