basically... my dotfiles for my EndeavourOS + hyprland

So I installed my linux desktop with this repo: https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots. Most of the settings were comming from that repo. I only modified a few, but I hope in the future I can expand this config further. Such as adding kitty and tmux config.

In case I forgot how to setup

So I use stow to manage my dotfiles. At the time I create this documentation, I nearly forgot on how to setup it 💀. So I think this documentation will be minimal.

Anyways, you can always refer back to the first tutorial that I watched back then: Tutorial by Dreams of Autonomy.

The first step that you need to do

1. Install these packages

git
stow

2. Create a directory or simply clone this repository in $HOME/<directory name>, in my case it's $HOME/dotfiles

3. Anything that you want to put into the dotfiles directory must be the same structure as the $HOME directory

   So for example I want to store my .zshrc file in the dotfiles directory. Since .zshrc is located in the $HOME/.zshrc, then I need to put it on dotfiles/.zshrc.

   Am planning to find a way to create custom symlink tho. Really want to setup my dotfiles on directory-based level. So for example I have zshrc directory, I have kitty directory. Each directory contains scripts or dotfiles that I customized.

4. If you're done with the setup of the files that you want to store in the dotfiles, you need to run stow . in the dotfiles directory.

5. Additional info: you can also pass the --adopt flag if the files exist both in $HOME and dotfiles directory. It will move and overwrite the content of dotfiles directory from the $HOME directory.
