My .files

Master branch is deprecated, just for documentation.

Switch to linux or macos branch for appropriate configuration.

How to config for backup and restore to/from this repo:

Inspired by this article: https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/

But, a little bit different: Clone the repo to this location (you might want to clone the https repo URL since our configuration for SSH via gpg-agent is in the config).

~/dotfiles

Then

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/.git/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Then checkout and create a local branch

## If you already have a zshrc, move them first
mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc_bk
config switch linux

After this, you can use

config status
config add
config commit

just like git command

To restore .zshrc, in ~:

config checkout .zshrc

Other settings

ZSH theme: Custom Powerline

Install fonts: https://github.com/powerline/fonts

Conky

By default, conky uses a local configfile located at $HOME/.conkyrc for its settings. This can be changed by recompiling from src. Or if you choose to stick to the default. Then create a link:

ln -s ~/.config/conky/.conkyrc ~/.conkyrc

i3wm

You might want to install a compositor for additional features like transparency of X clients. E.g.: ~~xcompmgr~~ (this compositor might cause screen tearing), picom (or compton).

To screenshot, need scrot package. To screenshot and save to clipboard, need xclip.

i3lock

The vanilla i3lock's appearance is quite boring with a snow white color when activated (screen locked). People tend to install the alternative: i3lock-color.

In fact, you may have to install this in order to make bin/lock.sh executable.

polybar

To install polybar, need: base-devel group of package.

The config of polybar displaying cpu temp may vary due to variety of hardware.

Check for info availability by:

$ ll /sys/class/hwmon/

# Somthing like the above

Adapt the setting in .config/polybar/config

# Zone number
thermal-zone = 1 
# and
hwmon-path = /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input

Further info (this required the lm-sensors package):

Display on the right monitor

In this config, there are 2 instances of polybar (one in the top and another in the bottom). The launch script (launch.sh) will check for each monitor and display the top one on ONLY one monitor.

Adapt it by the output of xrandr (and of course, this required xrandr package).

$xrandr -q

             Change this

To correctly display fonts:

Install ttf-font-awesome package.
To display network info/speed, fix the network interface in /etc/udev/rules.d/ rules to lan0 and wlan0.
To correctly display and control sound, install pulseaudio-alsa package.
