These are personal dotfiles, used on my current Arch build. I include an quick install script (dot which will backup your current matching dotfiles and create symlinks to mine.
To install my dotfiles, you can use the file dot_symlink.sh
. It is already preconfigured to install all the dotfiles I personnally use, but you should modify the file to include your own files, or delete those you don't want. This script backups all pre-existing dotfiles, then creates symlinks into your home folder.
- Into your favorite terminal emulator, move into your home directory (
cd ~
), then rungit clone https://github.com/folkrav/dotfiles
. - Move into the dotfiles folder (
cd dotfiles
). - (Optional) Copy all additional dotfiles you would like to install, without the dot, into the current (~/dotfiles) folder.
- (Optional) Modify line 14 of file
dot_symlink.sh
to match the list of files you want to install. - Run the script :
./dot_symlink.sh
