This repository contains all of my custom configurations for programs I use daily.
- Clone this repository to
~/Dotfiles
- Construct the following directories:
~/.local
src
bin
lib
share
~/.config
~/Downloads
~/Code
~/Media
~/Projects
- Install GNU/stow
- Pick and choose what configurations you want
- To install a module use
stow <module>
- To remove a module use
stow -D <module>
- To install a module use
GNU/stow just makes it easier to instruct a new user on what to do: you can just setup symlinks from a given module to the root directory yourself.
At https://aryadevchavali.com/resources/ I maintain a compressed
backup of some of ~/.config/emacs
. The purpose of this is simply to
escape having to clone this repository just to be able to use my
editor: I can just copy then uncompress this backup to get a
just-about-working version of my Emacs without having to do any
further work. It isn’t so I can have a completely working system,
just some comfort in an otherwise potentially alien environment.
This script generates the archive:
tar -Jcvf emacs-config.tar.xz \
~/.config/emacs/config.org \
~/.config/emacs/early-init.el \
~/.config/emacs/init.el \
~/.config/emacs/elisp/ \
~/.config/emacs/straight/
And this script sends it over via rsync
rsync -avz --info=progress2 --info=name0 emacs-config.tar.xz \
root@aryadevchavali.com:/var/www/html/resources
I like a specific set of flags on my Emacs install, and my
configuration kind of depends on them existing as well. Prepackaged
installs just won’t cut it. So I’d highly recommend cloning and
building my personal
Emacs repo (currently
v29
).
Or just run the following lines:
cd ~/.local/src;
git clone git@github.com:oreodave/emacs-29-custom emacs;
cd emacs;
sh personal-install; # Will configure, build and attempt to install
