dotfiles

Introduction

Welcome to my dotfiles!
Note: this repository contains user files only (system files are not presented)

Installation

1. Clone repository, rename if you want to, cd into cloned repository:
   • I use .dotfiles inside of ~/
2. Manage wallpapers:
   • Create wallpapers/ directory and copy wallpapers into it
     • Filenames are hardcoded: FHD.png and UW-QHD.png are set in Dotbot (install.conf.yaml) and Sway (output), change configs if needed
3. Manage git settings:
   • Create git/gitconfig-personal and git/gitconfig-work files, set personal and work global git settings (for example, username and email)
   • Review git/gitconfig, override some settings if needed (for example, you may want to change gitdir for git/gitconfig-work)
4. Manage Sway output settings (monitor, resolution, etc.):
   • Edit sway/config.d/output if needed
5. Manage shell settings:
   • I use Fish shell so everything is configured for it (fish is the default shell for my user)
     • Check fish_variables, remove hardcoded user
6. Check fish and sway autostart configs
7. Install dependencies (read sections below)
8. Run dotbot script: ./install
   • Read console output, some configs may not be applied
   • By default, GTK theme FlatColor does not have color scheme defined so it's important to apply a theme (next step)
9. Apply any desired theme using Flavours base16 theme manager:
   • For example, flavours apply tender
10. Relogin
