dotfiles ┐【 ̄~ ̄】┌

These are my personal dotfiles. I'm using:

TODOS:

  1. Update this README for the migration to GNU stow and clemacs
  2. Making an own conky, conky_maia-like
  3. Sorting the "Prerequisites" by importance
  4. Getting away from Manjaro i3 (?)
  5. Emacs Markdown preview is buggy, find another way, this would be fixed by a org-mode README
  6. Maybe convert this readme into emacs org mode

Setting up zsh

chsh -s /bin/zsh

cp -r /usr/share/zsh-theme-powerlevel9k ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/powerlevel9k  # copying powerlevel9k-theme to the desired directory
rm -rf ~/.*bash* # remove bash-stuff from your home directory.. don't do it if you wanna keep using bash

Setting up Emacs

I tried to make this as easy as possible. All packages should be installed automatically.

Setups

Setting up some programs.

Installing Nextcloud-Client (optional)
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Linux/Nextcloud-2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage --P ~/Downloads/
chmod +x ~/Downloads/Nextcloud-2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage
sudo ln -s ~/Downloads/Nextcloud-2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage /usr/bin/nextcloud
"installing" the dotfiles.

Take a look at already existing files and delete them if necessary. Like $HOME/.i3/

git clone https://github.com/TuDatTr/dotfiles .dotfiles
stow emacs
stow i3
stow zsh
sudo ln -s ~/.scripts/pipes.sh /usr/local/bin/pipes
