+# Zu's dotfiles 
+It seems something everyone's doing: keep everything (dot / config files) together in one single directory and then symlink wherever appropriate. Feel free to use these files at your own peril. 
+
+Everything below assumes this repo is cloned in ~/.dotfiles. 
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- zsh
+- nerd-fonts-complete
+- compton-conf (optional)
+- compton-git (optional)
+- mpris (playerctl integration - `pip3 install --user dbus-python pygobject`)
+  - install `mpv` 
+  - in mpsyt: `set player mpv`
+  - profits
+- networkmanager-dmenu (no need for nm-applet)
+- notifications...
+  - libnotify
+  - dunst
+- rofi-dmenu (optional, makes rofi take over role of dmenu)
+- xsel (needed by vim copy-to-clipboard plugin)
+
+## Setup
+
+Below are the symbolic links needed to hook up .dotfiles to the default locations (Arch Linux) of the dotfiles.
+
+```
+ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.vimrc ~/.vimrc
+ln -s ~/.dotfiles/i3 ~/.config/i3
+ln -s ~/.dotfiles/polybar ~/.config/polybar
+ln -s ~/.dotfiles/qutebrowser ~/.config/qutebrowser
+ln -s ~/.dotfiles/reloadcompton.sh ~/.config/reloadcompton.sh
+ln -s ~/.dotfiles/rofi ~/.config/rofi
+```
+
+The i3 setup uses ~/.fehbg to set its background. Plan accordingly.
+
+## Subtrees
+
+### polybar-scripts
+```
+git subtree add --prefix polybar/polybar-scripts https://github.com/x70b1/polybar-scripts.git master --squash
+```
+
+Also, using one of the scripts there, so have to add execute privilege:
+```
+chmod u+x updates-arch.sh
+```
+
+## Italics in terminal
+
+Create a `~/.terminfo/` entry so we can use the new TERM info.
+```
+tic xterm-256color-italic.terminfo
+```
+
+
+## Additional applications
+
+### Ranger - terminal file manager
+- yay ranger
+- `yay rxvt-unicode-pixbuf` to enable picture previews
+
+### Qutebrowser
+vim style browsing
+
+### entr

+
+### autorandr

+
+### sxiv
