.dotfiles

How I set up my system from scratch.

GNU Stow is used to symlink files to the $HOME directory.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following installed on your system

Git

sudo apt install git

Ansible

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ansible

Installation

Naviagte to your root directory and clone the repo

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/abdullahmorrison/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

Run Ansible playbook to install all required libraries

ansible-playbook .bootstrap/setup.yml --ask-become-pass

then use GNU stow to create the symlinks

stow .

To set up your .zshrc config & aliases run the following cmd

source $HOME/.zshrc

Set up

Git

gh was installed through the ansible playbook. Set up your git authentication by running the following command.

gh auth login

after answering the questions given, you will recieve an auth code. Insert the given code to github.com/login/device

Tmux

open tmux and run the following to set up keybinding and settings

tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf

then navigate to the tmux.conf file and run <prefix>-I to install tmux themes and dependencies

cd  ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf

Nvim

go to https://github.com/abdullahmorrison/nvim to view setup

Install submodules with the following commands

git submodule init
git submodule update

Trouble Shoot

run the following command if you already have some file in your $HOME dir that is in your .dotfiles.

stow --adopt .

This moves any conflicting files to the .dotfiles directory
