dotfiles

This is a collection of dot files that I find useful in my day-to-day work. Feel free to use them.

Installation instructions

Install git

Run the following in a terminal

cd ~ && git clone --recursive https://github.com/petergardfjall/dotfiles.git`

You now have the dotfiles directory/git repository in your home folder.

xfce window manager

Run the following script to populate the ~/config/xfce4 directory with symlinks to the xfce4 settings files in this repo:

~/dotfiles/setup-xfce4.sh

You need to log out and log back in for all changes to take effect.

emacs

Assuming no prior emacs configuration, you can simply run the following command:

ln -s ~/dotfiles/emacs-init.el ~/.emacs

vim

Install the Vundle plugin manager and make use of the .vimrc provided in this directory.

git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

NOTE: on first launch of vim, run :PluginInstall to have Vundle install the plugins configured in vimrc.

Visual Studio Code

mkdir -p ~/.config/Code/User/
sudo ln -sfn ~/dotfiles/vscode/settings.json ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json
sudo ln -sfn ~/dotfiles/vscode/keybindings.json ~/.config/Code/User/keybindings.json
# install extensions
~/dotfiles/vscode/install-extensions.sh

bash

The ~/dotfiles/bash/ directory contains additional files to load into your shell environment. Any secrets/host-specific settings should be placed under the ~/dotfiles/bash/bash.local/ directory and are ignored by this git repo.

Append the following to your ~/.bashrc file

#
# source additional configuration modules
#
source ~/dotfiles/bash.includes

Then append the following to your ~/.profile file:

#
# source additional configuration modules
#
source ~/dotfiles/bash.includes
