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
