Mathias's dotfiles

Config files to setup a system (debian) the way I want it, hopefully useful also for others.

Principles

• Focused on simplicity, speed and portability
• Defensive checks, so that it will work in most cases
• Mostly oriented to web development tasks

Requirements

• Bash4
• Git
• Optional, but strongly recommended:
  • Vim 8 (compiled with python or python3)
  • Tmux
  • EditorConfig
  • Node.js

Installation

To get up and running on a new system, run the following

# Clone the repository
# for server env
git clone https://github.com/bymathias/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
# for desktop env
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bymathias/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

cd ~/.dotfiles

# Run the install script
./bootstrap.sh install

# Reload the shell configuration
source ~/.bash_profile

Et voilà.

The .config submodule folder stores the config files for desktop apps.

conky

# Backup default conky config
mv ~/.conkyrc ~/.default.conkyrc

# Symlink config file
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.config/conky/conkyrc ~/.conkyrc

terminator

# Backup default terminator config
mv ~/.config/terminator/config ~/.config/terminator/default.config

# Symlink config file
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.config/terminator/config ~/.config/terminator/config

tint2

# Backup default tint2 config
mv ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc ~/.config/tint2/default.tint2rc

# Symlink config file
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.config/tint2/tint2rc ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc
