# `~/🌹`
|
|
|
|
Note that the below screenshots still show the X configuration from [v0.1](https://gitlab.com/marty-oehme/dotfiles/-/tags/v0.1) which is *very* old by now.
|
|
The current dotfiles are geared toward wayland for which the setup looks similar but not identical to the previews below.
|
|
|
|
## What's in these dotfiles
|
|
|
|
* [x] wayland setup using `riverwm` with quick access to many overlays and picking tools for styles, downloads, browsing history, passwords and more
|
|
* [x] vim configuration for simple programming tasks (especially python/bash/lua) and prose (markdown/quarto/latex)
|
|
* [x] academic workflow tools, to allow quick citation, pdf compilation, and preview
|
|
* [x] simple, efficient waybar with package update notification and mpris integration
|
|
* [x] system-wide color management (terminals, vim, qutebrowser, polybar, xresources) through [`flavours`](https://github.com/Misterio77/flavours) application using [base16](http://chriskempson.com/projects/base16/) themes
|
|
* [x] quick theme switching by activating `flavours` and fuzzy-searching themes with hot-key (default `<Super>=<Shift>+S`)
|
|
* [x] quick directory jumping using `z`, with `fzf` integration
|
|
* [x] `fzf`-like integrations for bibtex citation, vim buffer management, most recently used switching, shell command history, and more
|
|
* [x] password management with `pass` and picking it with automatic typing into any window
|

## Quick-Start
|
|
|
|
The dotfiles use `dotter` to link themselves in the home directory. You can clone this repository anywhere (though I have mine in `~/.dotfiles` as it seemed most logical for me).
|
|
|
|
I would recommend doing an initial `git clone --recursive` for this repository, since it contains git [submodules](https://nering.dev/2016/git-submodules-vs-subtrees/), which will then automatically get pulled in as well.
|
|
Of course, you can do it non-recursively and then just pull those modules selectively which you actually want.
|
|
|
|
Once in the repository directory, when you then run `./install.sh` it will install many of the packages I use (though they are probably slightly out-of-date) and link the dotfiles into the home directory.
|
|
I would mostly recommend this on fresh machines or a test machine first - it *will* link my personal dotfiles and, if you allow it, *will* install quite a few packages.
|
|
By default it will ask your consent for some steps -- use `./install.sh -f` to force yes to everything.
|
|
|
|
The dotfile installation procedure is based on `dotter`, it will generally *not overwrite* anything already in the home directory, but of course be observant when doing ptentially destructive operations.
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> The same non-destructive installation procedure does *not* apply to the package installation and system setting file linking, where it can potentially overwrite or remove existing files.
|
|
|
|
After all files are linked and you open a new shell session, the `dotlink` alias will allow you to re-link all dotfiles from anywhere on the system.[^1]
|
|
|
|
[^1]: This alias only works when the dotfiles are cloned into `~/.dotfiles`, mirroring my setup.
|
|
This is due to a hard-coded cd into this directory.
|
|
If your dotfiles lie in another directory and you want to use the dotlink alias, simply change the corresponding line in `bootstrap/.config/sh/alias.d/dotlink.sh`
|
|
|
|
Both automatic installation paths are presumably somewhat brittle. In any case, I would suggest to manually look through the files for things you want instead of copying and activating everything.
|
|
Dotfiles are too personal to be standardized like that.
|
|
They're pets, not cattle.
|
|
Enjoy!

## Notes
|
|
|
|
* Generally, most configuration for applications attempts to follow the XDG specifications, keeping configuration in .config directory and supplementary files in .local/share directory. Over time, I am moving more applications to this standard: it keeps the home directory clean, and the separation of configuration, binaries, and data relatively clear.
|
|
* The `zsh` directory contains all setup for the z-shell, my daily work environment. It should not be required for working with any other module but will add additional functionality to many (such as command auto-completion and so on). `sh` sets some base functionality for any shell you may wish to work in. It is, for now, the only module that is required for some other modules to work.[^shreq]
|
|
* `rofi` contains additional scripts and a simple theming framework for rofi and should probably be reorganized to put the correct files into the correct directories (per xdg) at some point.
|
|
* Whereas `sh` module scripts are requirements for other scripts, `.local/bin` in the `scripts` module contains most executable user scripts. Most of these have been migrated to other corresponding modules (e.g. if a script exclusively targets git functionality, it will live there), some useful --- or left-over --- stand-alone scripts remain however.
|
|
* `.local/share/pandoc` contains configuration for academic latex writing (pandoc, really) and is of interest if you want to use this functionality.
|
|
* `.xinitrc` is used for x initialization and program startup. At some point, some of the consistently running applications may be moved to systemd/runit as supervised services.
|
|
* Generally, top-level directories starting with a . are only meaningful for the *repository* not for the functionality of the machine that these dotfiles are deployed on. That means `.gitlab-ci.yml`, `.assets/`, `.gitignore` and similar files and directories will not show up in the final deployment in any home directory. Perhaps they should be called dotdot-files since they're the dotfiles for my dotfiles. 🙂 (Also, '[dotfiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation)'.)
|
|
|
|
[^shreq]: I may remove this requirement in the future to make modules more self-contained. However, relying on some base utility scripts makes it easier to avoid duplicating such functionality for each individual script in other modules.
