Brendan's Dotfiles

This contains my dotfiles being used on Arch Linux, which are symlinked to the appropriate places using stow, simplifying management with git.

Installing

• Clone this repository into ~/.dotfiles.
• Run stow <program> on any of the dotfiles you wish to use. e.g. stow bspwm
• Or, run bash stowall.sh to install all.

Uninstalling

• Run stow -Dv <program> on anything you wish to remove. (-v for verbose).

Updating

If you change any files in ~/.dotfiles, run bash stowall.sh or stow -R <program>

Explanation

Each directory in ~/.dotfiles represents a program for which we want to track the configuration files (dotfiles). Calling stow <dir> from ~/.dotfiles creates a symlink of the contents of ~/.dotfiles/<dir> to the home directory ~/.

For example ~/.dotfiles/bash/.bashrc is linked to ~/.bashrc when using stow bash, and ~/.dotfiles/bspwm/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc is linked to ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc when using stow bspwm.
