#Dotfiles

Personal configuration files

Used on a Arch Linux system

#Packages

All packages selected are Free Software

See each individual package folder README for more information about versions, extensions, plugins,...

#Setup

The setup is done using Gnu Make. Some tools' setup require curl to download files.

# install config files of all packages
make

# install config files of a single packages
make tmux

# install config files of a selection of packages
make tmux vim zsh

Some packages require some additional manual setup steps, check their own README

#Colors management

All packages are configured to use the same color palette in a consistent way across them.

Colors management is centralized using base variables which get replaced with the correct values during the setup. For example {color/base0A/hex} gets substituted by the hexadecimal value of the base0A color. Similarly {color/base0A/number} is replaced by that color's number.

Consistency is enforced by the use of aliases. For example {color/warning/number} is replaced by the number of the color chosen to represent warnings.

See the colors folder for more information.

#Key bindings

All packages are configured to try to use consistent key bindings across them.

Most key bindings are minimalized to keep only relevant ones and configured to be as much vim-like as possible.

#Required extra packages

Packages required in the setup which have no own dotfiles config

Reasons for non having any dotfiles config:

• no support for any configuration (e.g., the silver searcher)
• configuration is only system wide (e.g., networkmanager)
• none is needed, use defaults (e.g., elinks, only used for basic HTML email display)
• config is part of another package (e.g., fzf, variables part of shell config)

Doesn't include (yet?) the following kind of packages:

• common GNU command line packages (e.g., sed)
• packages not required directly by our own config (e.g., phpctags, dependency via plugin)
• packages launched with minimal options usage (e.g., chromium, from desktop file)
• base Arch Linux packages (e.g., pacman)
