Notes

Git Hooks

• Git hooks have been added in the local repository accompanied with a script titled pull_latest_changes.sh which:
  • Pulls the latest changes in the local machines' file structure and auto-adds them inside the repository as needed.
• One git hook auto-runs this scrcipt as a pre-commit
• Another script executes pacman -Q > Packages as a post-commit to get the list of the latest packages installed.

Directories

• etc directory corresponds to the contents inside the /etc directory locally.
• bin directory correspondes to $HOME/bin
• .configs directory correspondes to $HOME/.config

Download and installation

• My set up is configured for three monitors. If you only use one monitor, or your laptops monitor, use you can modify the bspwmrc accordingly.

bspc monitor $YOUR_MONITOR -d  1 2 3 4 5

and removing the lines that execute DualMonitorSetUp.sh (all that is included in the if statement)

i.e.

#
# Dual monitor setup
#
if [ -x $HOME/bin/DualMonitorSetUp.sh ];then
        bash $HOME/bin/DualMonitorSetUp.sh DVI-I-1-1 DVI-I-2-2
    .
    .
    .
fi

• TODO: Update with smarter auto-install script.
• Execute the following commands to have a basis of the configuration files for installation.
• NOTE: Use these commands at your own risk. cp -r can be destructive to your system
• These commands were not tested prior to being written

# Make correct directories and import git repository
mkdir -p ~/.config && mkdir -p $HOME/bin && git clone https://github.com/andreleblanc11/BSPWM-dotfiles.git

# Copy files to system
cd BSPWM-dotfiles && cp -r configs/* ~/.config/ && cp -r etc/* /etc/ && cp -r bin/* $HOME/bin/
