Dotfiles
Arch Linux in the "Tokyo Night" color theme. Managed with Chezmoi.
Install / Use
/learn @hudson-liu/DotfilesREADME
Dotfiles for a fairly minimal "Tokyo Night"-themed Arch Linux setup. This repo is only updated on a semi-regular basis, and it's entirely tailored to my personal workflow; everything should work out-of-the-box, but I can't guarantee full reproducibility across all machines (though feel free to create a new issue if something is broken).
Also, fair warning: I strongly recommend only testing these dotfiles on a fresh, blank install of Arch Linux. These dotfiles do not work unless you specifically use BSPWM, Pipewire/Pulseaudio, and a number of other applications—Chezmoi should auto-install these, but if you already have an existing DE/WM set up, then these dots likely won't work as intended.
Installation
The following assumptions are made:
- Dotfiles are placed in ~/.config/
- Home directory is stored in $HOME variable
- yay is installed
[!IMPORTANT] Check through all files in this repo before running
chezmoi init(or, at the minimum, any directory tagged withexact_). Certain directories may be deleted without backup, so be careful and don't run anything you don't understand... unless you’re okay with potentially breaking your system or deleting important files (ergo: running this on a VM, which I highly recommend).
For a quick fresh install, I suggest using the archinstall script—the exported JSON configuration is at ./extras/archinstall.json, you can use it with:
curl -o tmp.json 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hudson-liu/dotfiles/main/extras/archinstall.json'
archinstall --config tmp.json
Once you've finished installing Arch, reboot and enter any empty TTY session (we can't use BSPWM yet since SXHKD keybindings haven't been set). To use the dots, login and clone the dotfiles repo:
sudo pacman -S chezmoi git
git clone https://github.com/hudson-liu/dotfiles.git ~/.local/share/chezmoi/
chezmoi init
chezmoi apply
(I don't recommend using chezmoi init --apply hudson-liu, as errors can potentially occur during cloning and initialization. Separate commands help with identifying which step went wrong.)
After the second command, Chezmoi will prompt various questions from .chezmoi.toml.tmpl. The setup is complete upon reboot. The generated ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml can be manually edited with any text editor. Updates to the package list in .chezmoidata/packages.toml will take effect upon re-running chezmoi apply
