Dotfiles

This is my dotfiles repository managed by GNU Stow.

Introduction

I started from scratch once again by installing Linux From Scratch to get a good idea of how Linux actually works. It was a valuable experience and I can't recommend it enough. Everybody should try it atleast once, you can even do it on a VM.

I then moved on to ArchLinux to get a lean and mean rolling-release system. I also considered NixOS and found it really innovative but haven't moved it from a VM to a bare metal installation yet.

Setup

1. Install GNU Stow. Most distributions package it under the name stow.
2. Clone my repository. git clone https://github.com/hashhar/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles.
3. Individually install the dotfile sets that you want using stow -R dotfile-set. dotfile-set is simply the name of any directory in the repository.

I'll be providing a bootstrapping strip in due course of time. In the meantime I recommend you read this to get a good idea of how GNU Stow works and how to use it to manage your dotfiles.

Questions? Suggestions? Ideas?

Open an issue or tweet me at @hashhar. I can also be found lurking in a lot of IRC channels. I'll add a list soon.
