Dotfiles Repository

This repository contains my personal dotfiles, configuration files, and scripts that I use to customize and enhance my development environment. Dotfiles are configuration files used to personalize and configure various applications and tools in a Unix-like operating system.

Getting Started

To set up these dotfiles on a new system, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/tovar/dotfiles.git

Navigate to the Dotfiles Directory:

cd ~/.dotfiles

Install Stow: Ensure that Stow is installed on your system. If it's not already installed, you can install it using pacman:

sudo pacman -S stow

Run Stow for Desired Configurations: Use Stow to create symbolic links for the configurations you want. For example, to set up the Bash configuration:

stow bash

Repeat this step for each configuration you want to apply.

Directory Structure

The dotfiles are organized into different directories based on the application or tool they configure. Here's an overview of the directory structure:

bash/: Configuration files for the Bash shell.
git/: Git configuration files.
vim/: Vim configuration files.
scripts/: Custom scripts for various tasks.
etc/: Additional configuration files for various applications.

Customization

Feel free to customize any of the configuration files to suit your preferences. Stow makes it easy to manage symbolic links, and you can add or modify settings in the existing files or create new ones as needed.

Dependencies

Make sure to review the dependencies listed in each configuration file. Some configurations may require specific tools or software to be installed on your system.

Updating

To update your dotfiles to the latest version from this repository, navigate to the ~/.dotfiles directory and run:

git pull origin master
stow <configuration>

This will fetch the latest changes and update the symbolic links for the specified configuration.
