# My dotfiles
|
||
 
|
||
|
||
These are my personal dotfiles for configuring my workstation. I use
|
||
[stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/) to manage them, hence why
|
||
everything is under its own module, so I can use `stow */` to symlink
|
||
them to the right place.
|
||
|
||
This configuration uses git submodules in order to pull some plugins and
|
||
to integrate my Emacs config in a separate repository, so make sure to
|
||
initialize them before trying to install it (installation instructions
|
||
below).
|
||
|
||
# Installing
|
||
|
||
You could install it on any Linux distribution that you want, but I
|
||
recommend Arch Linux as there is a file containing a list of required
|
||
packages installable via pacman or your favorite AUR helper.
|
||
|
||
- Clone the config in your home directory
|
||
`git clone git@github.com:nezia1/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles`
|
||
- Initialize submodules with `git submodule update --init`
|
||
- If you\'re using Arch Linux, install the packages with
|
||
`sudo pacman -S < packages` or using your favorite AUR helper
|
||
- `stow */` to symlink everything to the right place
|
||
- `fisher update` to install fish plugins
|
||
|
||
# Theme
|
||
|
||
I use [catppuccin](https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin) as my theme
|
||
(the mocha variant). I love the soothing pastel colors. The GTK theme
|
||
and the Qt5 theme are also configured to be used with supported
|
||
applications.
|
||
|
||
# Shell setup
|
||
|
||
I use [fish](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell) as my interactive
|
||
shell, but I still keep [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) as my
|
||
non-interactive shell for compatibility purposes, as some pieces of
|
||
software that I use require the user to have a POSIX compliant shell.
|
||
This is why I have a bash module, where I setup everything that I want
|
||
to have non-interactively and interactively and if running
|
||
interactively, have it start a fish session.
|
||
|
||
It also keeps variables set in .profile, since we\'re starting fish from
|
||
bash.
|
||

# Services and timers
|
||
|
||
The user-services module contains different systemd daemons and timers
|
||
that you might or might not need depending on your specific use-case:
|
||
|
||
- sync: a systemd timer that synchronizes my org directory using
|
||
[rclone](https://rclone.org/) to a remote called drive (runs every 5
|
||
minutes)
