DistantJragon's Dotfiles

DJNCFG

---

This is a repository that holds all of my dotfiles! (Or at least the ones I want to sync/share). I hope to make these files easy to understand, use, and modify for anyone. I use GNU Stow to manage my dotfiles on Linux, so these should stay up to date as long as I continue to use each dotfile's respective program (and I remember to git push). As these are my dotfiles, they might not be perfect for you, so I encourage you to look through them and tweak them to your liking. If any dotfile's program happens to be cross-platform (Linux/Windows), I will make an effort to make the dotfile cross-platform as well.

Installation

Prerequisites

• git
• GNU Stow (for Linux)
• PowerShell (for Windows)
• Knowledge found in the wiki

Instructions

For Linux:

1. Clone this repository to your home directory.
2. cd into the repository.
3. Run stow <package> for each package in the repository that you want to install. For example, to install the nvim dotfiles, run stow nvim.

For Windows:

1. Clone this repository
2. Run the install-windows.ps1 script in PowerShell. This script will create symbolic links in the necessary folders for the packages you wish to install.

Editing and Staying Up to Date

You can update these dotfiles by simply running git pull in the repository's directory. However, should you wish to make changes to any of the dotfiles due to personal preference and wish to make the update process less painful, you should maintain a fork of this repository or at least a separate branch. See this wiki page for more information.
