Mein dotfiles

A tidy $HOME is a tidy mind.

These are my dotfiles, designed primarily for Arch Linux, MacOS and debian. They are my specific breed of madness, split into 2-level topics (e.g. shell/zsh) that strive for minimum $HOME presence (adhering to XDG standards where possible).

• wm: bspwm
• shell: zsh
• font: kakwafont
• bar: polybar

Quick start

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hlissner/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh)

Overview

# general
bin/       # global scripts
assets/    # wallpapers, sounds, screenshots, etc

# categories
base/      # provisions my system with the bare essentials
dev/       # relevant to software development & programming in general
editor/    # configuration for my text editors
misc/      # for various apps & tools
shell/     # shell utilities, including zsh + bash

Dotfile management

Usage: deploy [-acdlLit] [TOPIC...]

  -a   Target all enabled topics (ignores TOPIC args)
  -c   Afterwards, remove dead symlinks & empty dot-directories in $HOME.
       Can be used alone.
  -d   Unlink and run `./_init clean` for topic(s)
  -l   Only relink topic(s) (implies -i)
  -L   List enabled topics
  -i   Inhibit install/update/clean init scripts
  -t   Do a test run; do not actually do anything

e.g.

• deploy base/arch shell/{zsh,tmux}: enables base/arch, shell/zsh & shell/tmux
• deploy -d shell/zsh: disables shell/zsh & cleans up after it
• deploy -l shell/zsh: refresh links for shell/zsh (inhibits init script)
• deploy -l: relink all enabled topics
• deploy -L: list all enabled topics

Here's a breakdown of what the script does:

cd $topic
if [[ -L $DOTFILES_DATA/${topic//\//.}.topic ]]; then
    ./_init update
else
    ln -sfv $DOTFILES/$topic $DOTFILES_DATA/${topic//\//.}.topic

    ./_init install
    ./_init link
fi
