This repo contains my dot files used to configure the local Linux account and some of the installed applications.
The dot files are "installed" from this repo by creating a bunch of symlinks. This is done with the help of a command-line utility rcm. The steps are as follows:
- Install the dotfiles management utility rcm
- Clone the repo to your Linux home directory,
~/., as follows
git clone https://github.com/oshevtsov/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles- Go to the cloned directory,
cd ~/.dotfiles - Run the following command to create the symlinks (the
-vflag stand for "verbose" and is optional)
rcup rcrc
rcup -v
The last command will make sure all configs mentioned in the rcrc file are properly
symlinked. It is important to run rcup rcrc first since it sets up the configuration
for the rcm tool itself.
- Make sure that all the necessary programs required by the dotfiles are installed
- neovim (run
:checkhealthto see what is missing) - nodejs
- ripgrep
- fd-find
- tmux
