Installation

Automatic installer

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Maciejonos/dotfiles/master/setup.sh | bash

⚠️ Important Notes:

This is specifically for Arch Linux with Hyprland
I've tested the installer on both fresh installs and configured desktops, but ideally you should know what you're doing, make sure to backup manually just in case
Everything that will be changed is backed up first

What the installer does:

<details> <summary><b>Backup</b></summary>

Backs up everything that will be changed (backup script)
- Files in ~/.config
- pacman.conf
- Ly display manager configuration (if installed)
- ZSH and LazyVim configs
- Everything else that gets modified
Creates a backup folder in your Home directory with:
- A text file listing all changed files
- Commands to quickly revert everything
- A rollback script for easy restoration

</details> <details> <summary><b>Package Installation</b></summary>

Installs packages from official repos and AUR

</details> <details> <summary><b>Hardware Detection</b></summary>

The installer detects your hardware:

Laptop/Desktop - Uses brightnessctl or ddcutil respectively, applies proper Hyprland keybinding profiles
Monitor Configuration - Checks your monitor's highest resolution and refresh rate with hyprctl monitors and creates appropriate monitors.conf
Nvidia GPUs - Detects Nvidia cards and applies Nvidia-specific setup with proper Hyprland env configs

</details> <details> <summary><b>Configuration & Theming</b></summary>

Replaces configuration files in ~/.config with the config directory contents
Sets up static and dynamic themes via theme setup
Configures symlinks for theme management
Some files live in the default directory - these are git synced and will get overwritten with updates

</details> <details> <summary><b>Scripts</b></summary>

A big collection of scripts, mainly used with Walker & Elephant. If installing manually make sure to add the scripts folder to path:

Theme Management - Switch themes, cycle backgrounds, apply dynamic theming
Development - PostgreSQL setup/backup/restore, Docker setup, Node.js setup
Package Management - Install/remove packages interactively
Media Tools - Video downloads (yt-dlp), transcoding (ffmpeg, handbrake-cli)
System Utils - Backup/restore files, keybinds, screenshots menu and video recording
Most scripts are accessible interactively through Walker or Elephant

</details> <details> <summary><b>System Configuration</b></summary>

System setup configures:
- Git configuration
- Ly display manager (if installed)
- Pacman configuration
- UFW firewall
Full ZSH setup with modular configuration

</details>

Manual installation

You can manually use the dotfiles without the installer:

Clone the repository
Copy desired configs from config/ to ~/.config/ (some configs live in default directory. Also everything relies on the scripts folder being in path)
Copy scripts from bin/ to your preferred location
You can use some install scripts for partial setup if you want
