Install and Usage

Only 2 packages are needed to get started, Git to clone these configs, and GNU stow to symlink files to the appropriate place on the local machine

  1. Install git & stow, if not already installed
$ dnf install git stow
  1. Fork this repo and Clone the configs into $HOME/.dotfiles
$ git clone git@github.com:{{GitHub Username Here}}/.dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles && cd $HOME/.dotfiles
  1. The Configs in this repo are broken up by catagory. Pick and choose which configs you want by directory (see stow -h)
$ stow configs shell scripts # e.g. will symlink all config files in ./configs, ./shell, & ./scripts 

or use the ./stowAll.sh shell script in the repo root (see ./stowAll.sh -h)

$ chmod +x ./stowAll.sh && ./stowAll.sh

Note: stow will not replace a file that is already present, but it will complain to stdout. Remeber to back up those files incase you'd don't like these configs, then you can use stow/stowAll.sh again.

$ mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak && ./stowAll.sh
  1. A script to help install packages, is found in $HOME/.local/bin/install_pkgs with accompanying text files, with lists of packages, in the $HOME/.local/share/ directory
$ chmod +x ~/.local/bin/install_pkgs && install_pkgs -f ~$HOME/.local/share/fedora_pkgs.txt

Fedora specific

Other Tips

  1. add the following to /etc/environment to use java applications like PyCharm

fi
  1. If using an AMD graphics card, enable the mesa-va-drivers-freeworld from rpmfusion.
