Dotfiles Setup

These dotfiles help you quickly configure your development environment on a Arch based Linux machine.

Clone the Repository

Clone this repository with submodules to ensure all dependencies (such as plugin managers) are included:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bryewalks/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

cd ~/dotfiles

Note: The --recurse-submodules flag ensures any git submodules are also cloned.

Automatic Hyprland Installation

A script is provided to automate the inital setup process for Hyprland and dotfiles:

** Warning: This script should only be used for a fresh install or systems that were previously configured with these dotfiles. It will overwrite existing configurations. **

./install.sh

Ask before proceeding with each step.

./install.sh --confirm

This script will automatically install necessary plugins for hyprland and unstow all available configurations.

Notes

• Review the contents of install.sh before running.
• Existing dotfiles may be overwritten. Backup if necessary.
• Additional packages can be installed by modifying OFFICIAL_PACKAGES (pacman) or AUR_PACKAGES (yay) in install.sh.

Manual Installation with Stow

Prerequisites

• GNU Stow (sudo pacman -S stow)

Each directory (e.g., nvim, zsh, tmux) corresponds to a set of dotfiles.

To symlink the specific configuration(s) into your home directory, run:

stow nvim
stow zsh
stow tmux

Or symlink all at once:

stow */

Uninstall

To remove symlinks created by stow:

stow -D nvim
stow -D zsh
stow -D tmux
