.dotfiles

A repository to store my dotfiles and associated configuration. MIT Licensed.

Install

git clone git@github.com:amberstarlight/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
bin/sync-dotfiles

Note Darwin systems need homebrew.

Programs

To get the best/full functionality out of my dotfiles, you'll need the following programs. They are most likely available in your package manager, if not already installed on your system. If you're using a Darwin (macOS) system, install a package manager first, then update your copy of bash to a version made in the current decade. If you're using Windows, install Linux instead. Alternatively, you're on your own.

Use case	Program
Shell	Bash
Text editing	Helix
Dotfile linking	GNU Stow
Backups	Borg

Terminal theming

For the best experience, set your terminal theme to solarized_dark.

Update

As ~/.dotfiles/bin is added to PATH, you can run sync-dotfiles from anywhere to pull changes from main. After that, you'll need to run exec bash to force bash to reload config.
