This repository contains my linux configurations. (aka dotfiles)

GNU Stow is used for linking dotfiles to their directory.
See DEPENDENCIES.md for list of packages required for installation / usage.

Installation

Installation of dotfiles is very simple, all you need to do is clone this repository to your home folder (~/.dotfiles), install all needed packages and run GNU stow.

stow --adopt .

Now all dotfiles have been linked to the parent directory and you can start using them. From now on they can be simply updated by pulling from remote.

Troubleshooting

Some of my configurations stayed unchanged

If you run stow --adopt and some files already exist, they will be linked, but their content will stay the same. (overwriting the files in this repo)

This can be simply solved by running the following command.

git reset HEAD -- path/to/.conf/configuration

Before running this command, I advise you to check the diff between your old and new configuration using

git diff HEAD -- path/to/.conf/configuration
