Welcome to ivuorinen's .dotfiles repository. It's a hodgepodge of scripts and configurations, tests and mistakes I'm not aware of yet. As I find more interesting tools, configs and other stuff, this repository will live accordingly.
Please for the love of everything good do not use these 1:1 as your own dotfiles, fork or download the repo as a zip and go from there with your own configs.
- Clone this repository to
$HOME/.dotfiles
./install
- ???
- Profit
cd $HOME/.dotfiles && git pull && ./install

.local/bin/dfm
is a shell script that has some tools that help with dotfiles management.
The folder structure follows XDG Base Directory Specification where possible.
Env | Default | Short description |
---|---|---|
$XDG_BIN_HOME |
$HOME/.local/bin |
Local binaries |
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME |
$HOME/.config |
User-specific configs |
$XDG_DATA_HOME |
$HOME/.local/share |
User-specific data files |
$XDG_STATE_HOME |
$HOME/.local/state |
App state that should persist between restarts |
$XDG_BIN_HOME
defines directory that contains local binaries.
User-specific executable files may be stored in $HOME/.local/bin
.
Distributions should ensure this directory shows up in the UNIX $PATH
environment variable, at an appropriate place.
$XDG_DATA_HOME
defines the base directory relative to which
user-specific data files should be stored.
If $XDG_DATA_HOME
is either not set or empty,
a default equal to $HOME/.local/share
should be used.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME
defines the base directory relative to which
user-specific configuration files should be stored.
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
is either not set or empty,
a default equal to $HOME/.config
should be used.
$XDG_STATE_HOME
defines the base directory relative to which
user-specific state files should be stored.
If $XDG_STATE_HOME
is either not set or empty,
a default equal to $HOME/.local/state
should be used.
The $XDG_STATE_HOME
contains state data that should
persist between (application) restarts, but that is not important or
portable enough to the user that it should be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME
.
- It may contain:
- actions history (logs, history, recently used files, …)
- current state of the application that can be reused on a restart (view, layout, open files, undo history, …)
$XDG_DATA_DIRS
defines the preference-ordered set of base directories
to search for data files in addition to the $XDG_DATA_HOME
base directory.
The directories in $XDG_DATA_DIRS
should be seperated with a colon ':'.
