dotfiles

Dotfiles for environments with stow installed. Designed for simple & easy deployment.

Overview

This repository contains my personal dotfiles, organized and maintained for seamless management and deployment across different systems using GNU Stow. The collection is designed to be straightforward and compatible with any Unix-like environment where Stow is available.

Structure

Each directory within the repository corresponds to a set of configuration files for a specific program (e.g., bash, vim, git). GNU Stow is used to create symlinks from these directories into the appropriate places in your home directory.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A Unix-like operating system (Linux, macOS, WSL, etc.)
• GNU Stow installed

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/lh1207/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
   cd ~/dotfiles

2. Stow your desired configurations: For example, to stow your bash and vim configurations:

   stow bash
   stow vim

   This will symlink the configuration files into your $HOME directory.

Updating

Pull the latest changes and re-run the stow commands as needed:

cd ~/dotfiles
git pull
stow <directory>
