Dotfiles

Dotfiles are user-specific application configurations.

I have spent a lot of time configuring and adjusting my desktop. Setting up new VM or even desktops is difficult and error-prone. In true Linux tradition, I made a few helper scripts to automate the proccess. Feel free to use it in any way you see fit.

Here's what my desktop looks like:

Installation

For Ubuntu and Arch Linux users, use the helper script as -

git clone https://github.com/abhishekkumar2718/dotfiles;
cd dotfiles;
sudo ./bootstrap.sh

Be sure to accept all conditions and pay attention to errors, if any.

At the end of proccess, follow step 4 of manual installation onwards.

In case of other distributions, follow these instructions:

Install dependenices which are - i3, xfce4, vim, rofi, polybar and arc-gtk-theme, powerline-shell.
Remove packages xfce4-panel, i3status.
Run bootstrap_other.sh which backups your existing dotfiles and synchronises them with versions present in

./bootstrap_others.sh

Deactivating Xfce's window manager Note: Follow only the sixth step of tutorial. All other steps have done by helper scripts.
Restart your system
Enjoy your fancy new system

Feature requests and contribution

Feel free to add issues, or pull requests. I am glad to know if anyone finds my setup impressive.
