My personal .dotfiles

These are my personal configuration files I use to setup my development workflow. This avery minimilistic setup for:

  • neovim (Code Editor)
  • tmux (Session Multiplexir)
  • zsh (Shell, and Oh My Zsh on top of it)

I belive in, making things more productive rather spending bunch of hours to make it beautiful.

I case you want to use this setup, Use the below guide to properly place and link the cofiguration as it should be.

How to setup these set of configuration files for you self

Clone this repo in the $HOME. A new hidden folder .dotfiles directory will be created in your $HOME directory.

Clone this repo in your $HOME

git clone

Note: This will be a hidden directory, you should use ls -a flag to view it.

cd .dotfiles

Linking

Now link the configuration files to the right place. There are plenty of other methods like GNU Stow, some uses automated script to link. But I have a very minimilistic setup. So, I am using symlinking for it.


cd $HOME    // or type 'pwd' to check your current directory

ln -s $HOME/.dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc $HOME/
ln -s $HOME/.dotfiles/nvim $HOME/.config/
ln -s $HOME/.dotfiles/tmux/.tmux.conf $HOME/
  • NOTE: Now run ls -a or ls -al to check wheter your setups are linked or not.
  • NOTE: Any changes made here will directly be reflected in there.
  • NOTE: You can use -v flag to print info in the terminal when linking
// For unlinking use
unlink $HOME/the-linked-file-name

Backup installed packages

Incase if your are moving your installation to a new system. Then with following command a backup list of installed packages can be made, and can be reinstalled in one go.

pacman -Qqen > pkglist.txt
pacman -Qqem > pkglist_aur.txt

Reinstall those packages

pacman -S --needed - < pkglist.txt
yay -S --needed - < pkglist_aur.txt

Note: In future I might convert this to a git --bare repo and add further more configuration.

Note: The setup files are well documented. Read it carefully to get going with the setup.

See: For more exploration of setting .dotfiles configuration.
