Dot files for... anything!

!NOTE: for the GUI version, switch to linux-gui branch!

Setup

Dotfiles are managed with yadm, that needs to be installed first. You can then setup your system by cloning this repository with yadm clone.

Install yadm

NOTE: do not do it with apt! It is usually an outdated version, get it from the official github instead with the following command:

sudo curl -fLo /usr/local/bin/yadm https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm/raw/master/yadm && sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/yadm

Clone this repo as your dotfiles

yadm clone https://github.com/Maik93/dotfiles

If prompted, do not execute bootstrap scripts just after cloning, since there is some configuration to be done first.

Configure your scenario

Choose the right classes, mixing together OS and scenario. If nothing is supplied, everything is written for Archlinux with BSWM.

Set OS among:

• mac
• arch
• ubuntu
• debian

Optionally, set a scenario:

• tui: non-graphical target (valid only in linux-gui branch);
• wsl: non-graphical, inside WSL2 (valid only when combined with arch OS).

yadm config local.class <os-type> # like 'arch' or 'ubuntu'
yadm config --add local.class <secondary-stuff> # like 'tui' or 'wsl'

yadm alt # refresh links based on the selected classes

yadm bootstrap # install needed dependencies, based on the configuration just set

The bootstrapping script should setup and install most things, and get you a completely usable system. There are, however, still some further configuration needed for some of the applications that I use. The following sub-sections will cover these extra setups.

Neovim setup

Lazy.nvim will auto-bootstrap on first run. Simply open nvim and it will automatically install all plugins from ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/.

Common commands:

• :Lazy - Open the Lazy UI to manage plugins
• :Lazy update - Update all plugins
• :Lazy sync - Install, update, and clean plugins
