Dotfiles

This repository contains useful (config) files.

It is structured into two branches:

main contains dotfiles intended to be used on all kinds of machines and can be thought of as a "minimal" or "server" version. desktop is (re-)based on top of main and adds "desktop" related dotfiles (e.g., GNOME stuff).

Installation

Simply run:

curl https://code.webartifex.biz/alexander/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/.local/bin/install-dotfiles > install-dotfiles && . ./install-dotfiles && rm ./install-dotfiles

or

wget https://code.webartifex.biz/alexander/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/.local/bin/install-dotfiles -O install-dotfiles && . ./install-dotfiles && rm ./install-dotfiles

This downloads a simple installation script and then executes it. The script has only one dependency, namely git. So, it should not be too hard to get this going.

Normally, I advice against executing shell scripts from the internet, but this one is short enough to be read even by beginners. So, convince yourself that it is not harmful!

Shells

The config files in this repository are optimized for usage with GNU's Bourne again shell, or bash for short, and the popular zsh.
