These are my dotfiles. I use these across a few ubuntu computers with a few modifications. Do not copypaste blindly.
stow -R --no-folding vim
You can either replace your system's files or read and paste the bits in here that interest you. My canonical setup method uses stow.
Here's an example to stow i3 into your system.
cd ~
git clone https://www.github.com/pabsan-0/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
stow --no-folding i3
stow --no-folding -R i3- Applications: Installed from text files. The command to be used is commented at the top of each packages.*.txt files
- Browser extensions: Installed via GUI. A script will open the extension URLs, then I simply click on them.
Here's how I would install all my SW:
# Apt and snap packages. Snap may fail due to --classic flags
sudo apt install $(sed "s/#.*//g" packages.apt.txt | xargs)
sudo snap install $(sed "s/#.*//g" packages.snap.txt | xargs)
# Firefox extensions. This opens a few tabs which need interaction
firefox $(sed "s/#.*//g" packages.ffext.txt | xargs)Here's a todo list when using these on a new system:
- Install software from text files
- Stow all dotfiles
- If using i3:
- Log out and back in
- Check i3 works in general - it usually will
- Check i3blocks are working - more prone to conflicts
- Handling credentials:
- Password manager and extensions
- Set git user and email automtically
