About the Dotfile Manager

The dot script is a dotfile manager that helps manage configuration files across multiple systems.

To use the script, you can call it from the terminal with one of the available arguments:

• (No argument) - This is equal to calling dot all and will update both user and system configuration files.
• a|all - This updates both user and system configuration files.
• u|user - This updates only the user's configuration files.
• s|sys|system - This updates only the system's configuration files.
• c|clean - This deletes all dotfiles. You can specify whether you want to delete user, system, or all dotfiles by passing user, system, or all as an argument.
• h|help - This displays a help message and usage information for the script.
• t|status - This displays information on the status of the repository.
• d|diff - This displays information on any differences between the current configuration files and the repository.

In addition to these arguments, there are also several options you can use:

• -p|--pretend - This runs the script in pretend mode, where no changes are actually made to the filesystem.
• -v|--verbose - This enables verbose output, providing more detailed information on the actions being taken by the script.
• -n|--no-backup - This disables backup creation when updating or cleaning dotfiles.
• -r|--recover - This recovers deleted dotfiles from the backup directory when cleaning.

Then enter tmux:

Install plugins by pressing prefix + I.

Installing oh-my-zsh:

sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Please install omz before dotfiles. Otherwise, after installing omz, you need to run dot again to overwrite .zshrc created by the ohmyzsh install script.

Installing dotfiles:

git clone git@github.com:FrozenArcher/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

The default repository location is $HOME/dotfiles, and the dot script will be linked to $HOME/.local/bin/dot.

If you wish to change these locations, you can set environment variables DOT_REPO and DOT_TARGET_DIR when running the install script.

Remember that DOT_REPO is the location where you have cloned the repository.

env DOT_REPO=/path/to/repo DOT_TARGET_DIR=/path/to/target ./install

If the install script is run directly, the two variables will be set to their default values.

./install

After installing, please add the DOT_REPO environment variable to your shell's profile and add the above DOT_TARGET_DIR to your PATH. By default, DOT_REPO is set to ~/dotfiles in .zshrc in this repository.

Changing default shell to zsh:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Setting up your wallpaper:

both .fehbg and hyprpaper will look up ~/.wallpaper as your wallpaper, so link your favourite wallpaper to ~/.wallpaper:

ln -sf /path/to/wallpaper ~/.wallpaper

TODO

• clean up waybar config
• import scripts from my old dotfile repo
• write all dependencies in a file
