You're done.

Layout

This repo is structured to follow the .local convention, to a degree. I only want a single subdirectory of nesting beneath ~/.local/, rather than 2 or 3 that would result in fully honoring the FHS.

As such, here is the resulting tree:

HOME
├─ .local
│ ├─ bin
│ ├─ etc
│ ├─ lib
│ ├─ share
│ ├─ srv
│ ├─ tmp
│ └─ var
│
├─ docs
├─ desktop
└─ media
  ├─ music
  ├─ photos
  └─ videos

With the following environment variables used to configure XDG-honoring software to adhere to it:

| Variable | Location | | --------------------- | ------------------- | | XDG_CONFIG_HOME | ~/.local/etc | | XDG_DATA_HOME | ~/.local/share | | XDG_CACHE_HOME | ~/.local/cache | | XDG_STATE_HOME | ~/.local/var | | TMPDIR | ~/.local/tmp | | XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR | ~/Downloads | | XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR | ~/.local/srv | | XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR | ~/docs | | XDG_MUSIC_DIR | ~/media/music | | XDG_PICTURES_DIR | ~/media/photos | | XDG_VIDEOS_DIR | ~/media/videos | | XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR | ~/.local/share/templates | | XDG_DESKTOP_DIR | ~/desktop | | XDG_BIN_DIR(*) | ~/.local/bin |

* means it is a non-standard environment variable
