My Configuration Files

Warning: If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

These are my dotfiles. They also include useful scripts, such as a script for setting the wallpaper in i3 to a host specific file with host specific configuration.

Downloading

To get started quickly, simply run:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/roguh/confs.git
cd confs

If you're going to make changes, you must use SSH to clone it so you can push directly to the repo. You can also fork this repo and make a pull request to the main repo.

Usage

Simply copy the files you need to your home directory. For example vim/.vimrc.minimal would go to ~/vim/.vimrc.minimal.

Make sure you check to see if a file you want depends on other files.

To backup all supported configuration files:

./update.sh backup ..

Advanced

If you know that you want all the configuration files, run

./update.sh restore ..

Parallel copying

By default, I run numerous instances of rsync to quickly sync all these small files.

Set CONFS_COPY_PARALLEL=false to disable this.

Submodules

git submodule add -repo-
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule foreach git pull origin main

OSX

brew install coreutils
