My dotfiles for usage with GNU stow

My public dotfiles

These are my dotfiles to use on my UNIX machines.

They can be managed with GNU stow. The best way to do that is to clone this repository into ~/.dotfiles.

git clone https://github.com/FrontierPsychiatrist/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
stow emacs

This will create symlinks for emacs config files in the home directory.

Notes

Emacs systemd daemon

After running stow systemd the service has to be enabled with

systemctl enable --user emacs.service

Emacs desktop entry

Instead of installing the desktopt entry with stow, better use desktop-file-install:

cd ~/.local/share/applications
desktop-file-install --dir=. ~/.dotfiles/applications/.local/share/applications/emacsclient.desktop
