My Arch Installation Guide is moved to codeberg/github

Usage

# Clone this repository
git clone https://codeberg.org/unixchad/dotfiles

# Create directories if needed to avoid dumping everything in dotfiles directory
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.local/{share,state}
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.{cache,config/"Code -OSS"}

# Create symlinks with GNU Stow
cd dotfiles
stow -t ~ . --adopt

# Optionally, run my post-install scripts AT YOUR OWN RISK
./install-pkg.sh --install --base
sudo ./install-root.sh
./install-user.sh

[!NOTE] A few software require manual setup:

  • Software's config named to *.example for privacy reasons
  • Software's config listed in ./.stow-local-ignore

Software I Use

I prefer software that are free as in freedom, keyboard centric, terminal based, vim like, do one thing and do it well. And try to avoid proprietary garbage and spyware when I can.
