My personal dotfiles

Current default configuration consists of:

• NixOS (previously arch/manjaro)
• gruvbox light
• sway {waybar, rofi, lightdm}
• fish {alacritty, tmux}
• Neovim for coding, emacs Doom! for org-mode
• rg, fzf, ranger
• ...

You can see preview in (very likely out of date)

More screenshots can be found in this folder.

Installation

First step is to clone this repository:

git clone https://www.github.com/metiu07/dotfiles

The repository contains installation scripts. Namely:

• install.py
• install.sh # deprecated

The requirements.txt file contains arch package names of used packages. I am trying to keep the list updated, but if something is missing simple google query should find you the right package.

Script - install.py

This is new and intended way to install dotfiles. To run this script at least python version 3.5 is needed. Example usage is shown in the next snippet.

./install.py                 # install default target (linux)
./install.py bash            # install bash module
./install.py -r bash         # remove bash module
./install.py linux           # install linux target
./install.py -l              # list all modules
./install.py -i asd.json asd # use custom json configuration file
./install.py -d linux        # dry run (show user the command which will be run)
./install.py -m linux        # install via moving instead of symlink
./install.py -a linux        # auto-confirm all prompts

The program configuration is stored in json file configuration.json. For example next snippet means that the file ./.config/ranger/rc.conf will be installed to the location ./.config/ranger/rc.conf and also depends on module ragner_rifle.

  "ranger": {
    "source": "./.config/ranger/rc.conf",
    "destination": "~/.config/ranger/rc.conf",
    "name": "Ranger configuration",
    "install": "./scripts/install.sh",
    "$deps": [
      "ranger_rifle"
    ]
  }

Script - install.sh

This script is deprecated and should not be used anymore. It's included only because of nostalgia and for educational purposes.

Inspiration

This wouldn't have been possible without other people who share their dotfiles. Take this as a list of my appreciation and inspiration.
