dotfiles

My arch compatible user dotfiles. They were originally based on the dotfiles of lukesmithxyz. This being some time, hundreds of commits and my personalized version of larbs ago, they are now quite different.

Required and Recommended Software

All requirements and recommendations get installed by my version of LARBS. To take a look at all the software it installs look at the progs.csv in my LARBS repository.

Migration of my dotfiles to other system

• set alias in .bashrc: alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
• clone this repository: git clone --bare https://github.com/Tiyn/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles
• optional: backup old files:

mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}

• checkout changes: config checkout
• ignore untracked files: config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
• pull current setup: config pull
• finish setup for vim:
  • open vim and run :PackerCompile, and :PackerInstall

The step containing commenting out is needed because the colorscheme has problems being not available and disrupts the further process of the plugin installation.

Ignore local changes to config files

If you need to make local changes to config files that are not to be pushed run config update-index --skip-worktree <file> to stop git from showing them having changes.

Hotkeys

There are various shortcuts and hotkeys used in this version. Included in my build are the following. Dwms and sts hotkeys can be found in their repositories.
