.dotfiles

This repository is mostly for maintaining my Emacs configuration, although it includes some useful scripts and settings for different Linux related tools. There also is a configurations for Kakoune, and some time ago there was a configuration for NeoVim, which I no longer use, but configuration files still may be useful for someone else.

Structure

The structure of this repository is pretty simple. Each directory that is named along with default system name contains files that should be copied or sym-linked to corresponding system directory. All hidden files at the root of the repository should be copied of sym-linked to home directory.

There's a script that automatically links all needed files to their destinations, though you might want to edit it not to link files in .local/bin.

The basic layout as follows:

.dotfiles                        ~> /home/$USER
├── .bashrc                      ~> ├── .bashrc
├── .config/*                    ~> ├── .config/
├── .config/emacs                ~> ├── .emacs.d (for pre Emacs 27 users)
├── .local/bin/*                 ~> ├── .local/bin
├── .local/share/applications/*  ~> ├── .local/share/applications
├── c_project_template              │
├── .editorconfig                ~> ├── .editorconfig
├── .git/                           │
├── .gitignore                      │
├── .gitconfig                   ~> ├── .gitconfig
├── .inputrc                     ~> ├── .inputrc
├── README.md                       │
├── scripts                         │
└── .tmux.conf                   ~> └── .tmux.conf

These directories and files should be excluded from copying or sym-linking:

• .git, .gitignore, README.md - obviously, there's no need to copy these files to your home directory, as those are git related files.
• .gitconfig defines some git aliases and settings, and supports loading .gitconfig.local if you want to override anything. Include it if you want.
• c_project_template - is a template for creating a C project, that is used by a script placed in scripts directory.
• scripts - directory stores scripts that I use directly from there, either by sourcing or by invoking from $PATH.
• .config - directory should not be sym-linked to home directory, since all your configuration files will be visible to git. Only files that inside this directory should be copied or sym-linked.
• .local/bin - directory contains scripts that I want to be automatically available on any system I use.
