Installation

Depending on your OS, copy and paste the code to start installation. This code will download my dotfiles and start setup depending on your OS.

If you have no idea what this repository is all about, please do not simply run these commands. They will override your configurations with my configurations and install bunch of packages.

MacOS 12.0 Monterey (and above)

bash -c "$(curl -LsS https://raw.github.com/excalith/.dotfiles/main/scripts/setup.sh)"

Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish (and above)

bash -c "$(wget --no-cache -qO - https://raw.github.com/excalith/.dotfiles/main/scripts/setup.sh)"

Arch Linux

bash -c "$(wget --no-cache -qO - https://raw.github.com/excalith/.dotfiles/main/scripts/setup.sh)"

Using Dotfiles

After installing the dotfiles, you can pretty much start using these configurations right away.

• All changes to configuration files will be recognized by git as modified within dotfiles folder except for the config files created with .local suffix.
• You can use dotfiles command for dotfile manager script for running maintenance commands.

Making Your Own Dotfiles

If you want to create your own dotfiles based on my configuration, you should

1. Fork or download this repository
2. Update setup script with your repository settings (do not change the preset .dotfiles path)
3. Change the configurations and packages as you wish
4. Push your changes to your own repository
5. Run setup bash commands

Credits

This dotfiles repository is a heavily knocked-off inspired version of beautiful Cătălin’s dotfiles. You should probably check it out!

I have modified this dotfiles with my own taste of config files and added a bunch of helpers and utilities to install packages, extensions etc. from different sources that I trust. I tried to seperate installation system and OS-spesific configurations as much as I can, so it would be easier to implement new OS setups which I might do later.
