My customization files for various programs and OS's

Important

IF you are installing on a new system install you may have some of these files created!!

These files include:

• .config
• .oh-my-zsh
• fish
• warp-terminal
• zshrc

FIRST CHECK THERE IS NOT A FILE OR FOLDER IN YOUR HOME DIRECTORY THAT WILL CONFLICT WITH A FILE IN THIS REPOSTITORY

cd ~
ls -al 

Good return

When setting up a new system, I've been checking for these files and creating a backup like so:

mv -r .config .config.bak
mv -r zshrc zshrc.bak

This creates a backup of the default files created by your distro incase something does not work or you need to move them into the stow configuration at a later point.

Stow Configuration

Clone this repository and change the directory to dotfiles

git clone https://github.com/venengaandrew/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

If there is no files conflicting in your home directory, running this command will copy stow all configs into /home/$username

stow .

If everything is successful, stow will not have any output.
