dotfiles ┐【￣～￣】┌

These are my personal dotfiles. I'm using:

• Manjaro i3
• i3-gaps
• GNU Emacs
• Z shell
• Oh My Zsh
• GNU stow
• Materia Theme

TODOS:

1. Update this README for the migration to GNU stow and clemacs
2. Making an own conky, conky_maia-like ..* conky
3. Sorting the "Prerequisites" by importance
4. Improve the README.md or maybe make a wiki.
5. Getting away from Manjaro i3 (?)
6. Emacs Markdown preview is buggy, find another way
7. Make this my main branch
8. Maybe convert this readme into emacs org mode

Setting up zsh

chsh -s /bin/zsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"  # Downloading/Installing oh-my-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. I'm not sure whether it works or not

curl -L https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/raw/master/utils/installer.sh | sh

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

Finally "installing" the dotfiles.

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

If you're using elpy you might want to do this.

pip install -r --user ~/dotfiles/requirements.txt
