My dotfiles (see definition below), managed using the GNU Stow symlink farm manager.
This repo is used in conjunction with my Ansible-based Debian configuration to document/automate the setup/configuration of my personal workstations.
The idea of dotfiles is explained here.
User-specific application configuration is traditionally stored in so called dotfiles (files whose filename starts with a dot). It is common practice to track dotfiles with a version control system such as Git to keep track of changes and synchronize dotfiles across various hosts.
I use GNU Stow to manage symbolic links to my dotfiles. You can read a short GNU Stow tutorial in my public notes (also available on Github as a “source” Org file).
The stow.bash script automatically stows the packages in the home
directory.
Alacritty is a cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
cmus is a small, fast and powerful console music player for Unix-like operating systems.
My Common Lisp (SBCL) configuration.
Another System Definition Facility, a build system for Common Lisp.
This includes the configuration for ASDF’s source-registry. More
info here.
SBCL, a high performance Common Lisp compiler.
cVim, an extension adding Vim-like bindings to Google Chrome.
Just load this once in Chrome:
set localconfig let configpath = '/path/to/.cvimrc'
Dunst is a lightweight notification daemon.
My Emacs configuration, included as a submodule.
My Git configuration.
It is actually a so-called “literate” config, using Org Babel. Check
it here. That literate config is tangled into the .gitalias file,
and the Org file is ignored by Stow thanks to a .stow-local-ignore
file.
Aliases were originally inspired from the gitalias repo and were then tailored to my usage.
My GnuPG config files.
Gradle settings.
My config for the i3 window manager, including my i3status configuration.
Irssi is a modular text mode chat client. A good occasional alternative to ERC :)
My Ledger configuration.
Settings for Apache Maven.
My passwords, managed with pass, the standard unix password manager. This is a private submodule pointing to a repository hosted on my local network. Although passwords are safely encrypted with GnuPG, I prefer not to make these files public.
Polybar, a fast and easy-to-use status bar. Not used at the moment.
My rclone configuration file (encrypted).
Rofi, a window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement. Used in combination with greenclip.
My StumpWM config, included as a submodule. For when I’m in the mood to experiment.
tmux, a terminal multiplexer.
urxvt, a lightweight terminal emulator. Not used at the moment, replaced by Alacritty.
My VSCode config. I keep $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json under
version control and a list of extensions. A script will install them
automatically; I can get them through code --list-extensions.
Good resources:
The ‘current’ file in my wallpapers directory is a symlink to my default wallpaper. When I stow my dotfiles, another symlink is created in this way:
~/.wallpapers/current -> ~/etc/dotfiles/wallpapers/.wallpapers/current
My i3 config always loads ~/.wallpapers/current, so I always have a
default wallpaper when I generate a new environment.
This script, in my personal utils, downloads a random wallpaper and make the current symlink above point to it.
My Xmodmap config.
A great shell.
