dotfiles

Lightweight configuration files for servers. This repository helps to setup and maintain machines where I occasionally log in as a user, and therefore don't need exhaustive tooling and configuration files. Instead a small subset is used.

For a more comprehensive set of dotfiles see https://github.com/abravalheri/dotfiles

You can find some information about what are dotfiles in Github's dedicated page

Quickstart

You are going to need git, stow (and possibly zsh, tmux and vim) installed in the machine. Then you can clone this repo to ~/.dotfiles and stow its folders:

cd ~
mkdir -p .config
git clone --recursive https://github.com/abravalheri/dotfiles-min .dotfiles
cd .dotfiles
stow <FOLDER NAME>

To stow all the folders, the following command can be used:

stow -R $(ls -d */ | xargs | sed 's:/::g')

If you want to also swap the default shell to ZSH, please do:

chsh -s /bin/zsh "$(id -un)"
