Introduction

Various Linux configuration files — lot of them using bépo layout and/or vim-styles shortcuts. This is a keyboard oriented configuration based on i3 (currently testing sway/wayland).

Caution

This repository is currently under refactoring and unstable. Use at your own risk. I'm aiming at making a stable version before the end of the year and will the follow a standard git workflow.

The goal

I aim to make all configuration files generic, with external files for local and private settings. You can find an exemple of local settings on my repository for the mid-2011 macbook air.

A lot effort is put on minimalist maintenance and installation time. All my machine are using this same repository without any differences. Most of the customization happen in the $DOTFILES_PRIVATE and $DOTFILES_LOCAL directories.

• ~/.dotfiles-private : custom config that should not be public
• ~/.dotfiles-local : local settings for the current host (monitor settings, themes…)

I am working on a way to install everything automatically using ansible and will share the source code when it's done.

Most of the work on bépo configuration is made in my vim-bepoptimist plugin. I'm still experiencing a lot on it, it might be unstable. Any participation is welcome if you're a bépo enthusiast.

Neovim

Neovim files are now out of this repository, in dotfiles-neovim-bepoptimist.

Installation

You can easily install it by forking it and then using this method explained on atlassian.com. In short:

$ cd ~
# the following alias is included in ~/.zshrc
$ alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
$ echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
$ config checkout

If you get errors, backup and start again

$ mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
$ config checkout

Some settings:

$ config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

You can now do for example:

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .bashrc
config commit -m "Add bashrc"
config push
