I# Dotfiles
This repository contains my personal configuration files for various applications, all managed using GNU Stow. Using stow makes it simple to maintain and deploy my environment across multiple machines.
The repository is organized by application. Each folder corresponds to a package and is structured in a way that matches the target directory in your home folder. For example:
dotfiles/
├── i3
│ └── .config
│ └── i3
│ ├── config
│ └── [other i3 files...]
├── kitty
│ └── .config
│ └── kitty
│ ├── kitty.conf
│ └── [other kitty files...]
├── nvim
│ └── .config
│ └── nvim
│ ├── init.vim
│ └── [other nvim files...]
├── polybar
│ └── .config
│ └── polybar
│ ├── config.ini
│ ├── launch_polybar.sh
│ └── [other polybar files...]
├── picom
│ └── .config
│ └── picom
│ └── picom.conf
└── rofi
└── .config
└── rofi
├── config.rasi
└── catppuccin-mocha.rasi

Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles cd ~/dotfiles
-
Deploy Configurations with Stow
Run the following commands to create symlinks in your home directory:
stow -t ~ i3 stow -t ~ kitty stow -t ~ nvim stow -t ~ polybar stow -t ~ picom stow -t ~ rofi
This will link the configuration files from the repository (e.g.,
~/dotfiles/i3/.config/i3) to the corresponding location in your home folder (e.g.,~/.config/i3).
-
Updating Configurations:
Modify the files in this repository, then commit and push your changes:git add . git commit -m "Update configuration for <application>" git push
-
Deploying to a New Machine:
Simply clone the repository, navigate to the folder, and run the stow commands listed above to set up your environment.
- This repository is tailored to my personal setup. You are free to use it as a reference or adapt it to your own workflow.
- When adding new configurations, ensure that each package follows the structure required by stow (i.e., include the
.configfolder inside each package directory).
