you are your dotfiles
A mix of style and usability, these are my dotfiles. This repo is structured in a way first-time UNIX users and ricers can understand what's going on, with explications for each directory.
Note: I made my dotfiles public for educational purposes. Instead of copying entire files or directories from here, please study them first and copy the bits you need.
I manage my dotfiles using XStow and the ./deploy.sh
script.
./deploy.sh
makes sure that there are no conflicts and ignores README.md
files and some directories like firefox
and startpage
.
Xstow is very similar and modeled after GNU Stow. Here's a neat article about managing your dotfiles with stow to get a better understanding on what it does.
Each directory contains a file structure that is going to be symlinked in
$HOME
, and a README.md
file with a short description about the
component.
