What are .dotfiles

One of the key draws of Linux, other than getting away from proprietary software, is its customizability of it. Most of the time you do this inside a hidden file, and within Linux, these files start with a .. Typically these files are stored in ~/, but thanks to the XDG initiative they have slowly begun to migrate into the .config/. This repo doesn't cover my entire system, only the ones which I would want to easily be able to install on a new system.

How to install

Thanks to dot bot installing these is stupidly easy. You do it in three lines

git clone git@github.com:eddiebquinn/dotfiles.git --recurse-submodules
cd dotfiles
./install

Things to bear in mind

  • In order to keep .zshenv out of $HOME you need to include export ZDOTDIR="$HOME"/.config/zsh in /etc/zsh/zshenv
