managing

i manage mine with gnu stow, a free, portable, lightweight symlink farm manager. this allows me to keep a versioned directory of all my config files that are virtually linked into place via a single command. this makes sharing these files among many users (root) and computers super simple. and does not clutter your home directory with version control files.

installing

stow is available for all linux and most other unix like distributions via your package manager.

• apt install stow
• brew install stow
• dnf install stow
• pacman -S stow
• yum install stow

or clone it from source and build it yourself.

how it works

by default the stow command will create symlinks for files in the parent directory of where you execute the command. since i keep my dots in: ~/.local/src/dotfiles and all stow commands should be executed in that directory and suffixed with -t ~ to target the home directory. otherwise they will end up in ~/.local/.

to install configs execute the stow command with the folder name as the first argument, then target your home directory (or wherever you like).

to install my fish configs use the command:

stow fish -t ~

this will symlink files like config.fish to ~/.config/fish

note: stow can only create a symlink if a config file does not already exist. if a default file was created upon program installation you must delete it first before you can install a new one with stow. this does not apply to directories, only files.

my dotfiles setup

to fully "install" and setup this repo run the setup script or something like this:

# clone and stow
git clone ssh://git@git.lightnode.ru/EgorEast/dotfiles.git ~/.local/src/dotfiles &&
 cd ~/.local/src/dotfiles &&
 stow bash cmus curl delta dunst fastfetch -t ~

# nvim
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
nvim --headless "+Lazy! load mason.nvim" "+lua require('mason.api.command').MasonUpdate()" +qa

tl;dr

navigate to your home directory

cd ~

clone the repo:

git clone ssh://git@codeberg.org/egoreast/dotfiles.git

enter the dotfiles directory

cd dotfiles

install the fish settings

stow fish

install fish settings for the root user

sudo stow fish -t /root

uninstall fish

stow -D fish

etc, etc, etc...

setup kitty

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/kitty /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator

apply xresources

cp ~/evangelion.Xresources ~/.Xresources
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

enable necessary services

sudo systemctl enable --now reflector.timer

sudo systemctl start bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

setup bandwhich

sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace,cap_dac_read_search,cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+ep $(command -v bandwhich)
