Install

# Move to your home folder
cd
# Create a alias to work with the git bare repository. Don't close the bash session or you have to run this command again.
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
# Ignore the .cfg folder. This makes sure that you don't create weird recursion problems
echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
# Close the repository
git clone --bare https://github.com/conni2461/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
# Get the files
config checkout

Now files like .bashrc and .gitconfig are untracked. Either remove or move elsewhere.

config checkout
# Change git setup to only show tracked Files
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Use

# Show status of dotfile repository
config status
# Add a file
config add .file
# Create a commit
config commit -m "Message"
# Push to the remote repository
config push

Also you should change the email and name in the .gitconfig as well as the remote adresse.

Bash

Dotfiles provide clipmenu which requires dmenu, xsel and clipnotify. All credits goes to the creator of that scripts.

Most of the scripts are written for POSIX compliant shells. All scripts with /bin/sh are programmed and tested with dash and are not garanteed to run with bash. How to configure and use dash, can be found here.

Some scripts in the bin folder require dmenu, skim, ag, fd and ripgrep. Also twitch-notify and github-notify require python-notify2.

Zsh

Zsh is configured similar to bash and offers syntax-highlighting and autosuggestions when installed. If you ran into problems check the path of both extensions. It is possible that it has to be changed for your system.

Vim

• Neovim >= 0.7 required

When neovim is started for the first time, packer.nvim is downloaded. After that run :PackerSync To update plugins use :PackerUpdate. Some plugins need to be installed locally and will not be pulled!
