Dotfiles 🐧

Mostly a note to self, in case I hit my head someday.

Installation & Usage

This dotfiles repo is managed using GNU stow. In order to get started with using my configs for the software listed below, you can simply:

• Clone this repo into your home directory
• From within the cloned repo, run:
  • stow calcurse for setting up the symlinks for calcurse. Replace as necessary.
  • stow * for setting up all the symlinks.
• Profit!

List of Stuff

I use the following pieces of software. Might be useful to you too:

• Major:

  • dunst
  • dynamic menu
  • dynamic window manager
  • feh, for setting the wallpaper
  • neovim
  • suckless image viewer
  • suckless status
  • suckless terminal
  • tmux
  • zathura, for all-things PDF and more!
  • zsh

• Minor:

  • bat
  • exa
  • fontpreview-ueberzug
  • fzf
  • sheldon for managing zsh plugins
    • fast-syntax-highlighting
    • gitstatus
    • LS_COLORS, although this is setup a little differently. See the note below.
    • timer
    • z

Note for LS_COLORS: Since this plugin doesn't play well with rossmacarthur/sheldon, it is sourced according to the instructions on the repo. However, since this plugin is updated semi-frequently, updates aren't really necessary (although you could setup a cron job to git pull and check anyways)

Eye-candy

The following is purely eye candy.

• picom (yshui's fork), for window fading, blur & transparency.
• Fonts:
  • Julia Mono, used majorly for code.
  • FiraCode Nerd Font, for the status bar.
  • FiraMono Nerd Font, alternative monospace font.
  • JoyPixels, for those sweet, sweet emojis.
• Wallpapers
