dotfiles for my computer settings

My Dot files

Mostly for personal use. But feel free to use these if you are setting up your system.

Standard rc files

• .bashrc (config file for bash)
• .zshrc (config file for zsh)
• .vimrc (config file for vim)
• .Xdefaults (config file for urxvt)
• aliases (some aliases for bash/zsh that I commonly use)
• source_list (list of commands to run before starting terminal)

Config folder for a few programs

The folders present in config folder are generally present in ~/.config

Note: You might want to check documentation for each program to make sure that these files are being used instead of defaults. For example, you have to execute ranger --copy-config=all and replace existing .config/ranger with the one present in this repository to see the changes.

i3

Config file and some useful bash scripts from ~/.i3/ are placed in this folder.

On fresh install of i3, the config file might be present in ~/.config/i3/. You might wanna delete this and create ~/.i3/.

vim

Files for vim terminal editor are present in this folder. This is generally named ~/.vim/.

.vim/plugged is ignored here because the folders present inside are individual git repositories with their own .git files. Including these will not only be a mess but also considered plagarism. These are not important in most of the cases. These will be created when running :PlugInstall in vim.

urxvt

Plugins for urxvt terminal emulator are present in this folder. This is generally named ~/.urxvt/.

Update script

update_dotfiles.sh is a simple shell script which updates the files in this folder by copying files and folders from different locations. This makes maintaining dotfiles a little bit easier.
