These are the dotfiles (= configuration files) that I use for my Arch Linux system. They are separated into folders that specify the program that uses them or their purpose. Inside them you'll find the location the files should be added starting from the home directory.
Example:
The file dotfiles/git/.config/git/config should be applied to
~/.config/git/config.
Note:
The deployment process can be automated using stow (see below for more
information).
Also, be aware that the dotfiles reference some of my scripts which can be found here.
Copy the dotfiles into a subfolder of your home directory (~):
cd
git clone https://github.com/robert-lag/dotfiles .dotfiles
Note:
It's very important that you clone the repository into a subfolder of ~ as
stow will use the parent directory as target directory by default. If you want
to clone the repository into a different folder then you always need to use the
-t <directory> option when working with stow.
For more information about stow see man stow or stow --help.
Make sure you have installed stow.
On Arch Linux:
pacman -S stow
Then you can deploy all of them simply be using the .stow-all script:
cd ~/.dotfiles
./.stow-all
To deploy them individually, you can tell stow the directory that should be
deployed:
cd ~/.dotfiles
stow git
