Arch

Arch linux scripts, configs, tools, documentation, etc.

Scripts

Podman Setup

Installs and configures Podman, podman dependencies, storage, networking, and rootless support, aiming for Docker compatibility via aliases and socket activation. It also installs yay if missing.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GodSpoon/Arch/main/scripts/podman_setup.sh | bash

Claude URI Handler

Registers a custom x-scheme-handler/claude via a user-local .desktop file, ensuring claude-desktop handles claude:// URIs independent of any distribution-managed .desktop file updates.

curl -sSL https://github.com/GodSpoon/Arch/blob/main/scripts/claude_uri_setup.sh | bash

GNU Stow Dotfiles Setup

Sets up and manages dotfiles using GNU Stow with automatic change detection and synchronization. Clones the dotfiles repository, organizes configurations into packages, and creates symbolic links. Includes a systemd service for real-time monitoring and syncing of changes.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GodSpoon/Arch/main/scripts/stow_setup.sh | bash

Adding Custom Files and Directories to Stow

1. Manual Addition:

   # Add files to the appropriate package directory
   cp ~/.custom_file ~/SPOON_GIT/dotfiles/package_name/
   
   # Re-stow the package to create symlinks
   cd ~/SPOON_GIT/dotfiles && stow package_name

2. Configure Auto-sync:

   • Edit the watch configuration to include your files:

   echo ".custom_file:package_name" >> ~/.config/stow-watch.conf

   • Restart the watcher service:

   systemctl --user restart dotfiles-watcher.service

3. Common Package Names:

   • bash: Bash shell configuration
   • zsh: Zsh shell configuration
   • git: Git configuration
   • vim: Vim editor configuration
   • config: XDG config directory items
   • ssh: SSH configuration (without keys)

Naming Convention and README Structure Overview

Feature	Description
File Naming	scripts/<tool>_<action>.sh where <tool> is the primary software being configured (e.g., podman, claude) and <action> describes the script's purpose (e.g., setup, uri_setup). This emphasizes the target software and the operation performed.
README Description	Each script entry has a concise, technically-oriented summary explaining its function.
README Execution	The README provides a direct curl command to execute the script, facilitating easy installation and configuration. Where appropriate, the raw file URL is used for direct execution; otherwise the blob URL is used.
README Organization	The README is structured with clear headings (e.g., ## Scripts) to categorize the scripts and uses separators (---) for visual clarity between entries. Each script entry includes a title, description, and execution command. The top-level heading provides a brief overview of the repository's contents.
