dotfiles

This repo tracks personal dotfiles and a description for setting-up a desktop environment for a "humanities" workflow on a laptop machine running Fedora.

The set-up is based on a minimal install of Fedora (installed through the Everything ISO, available at ()[https://alt.fedoraproject.org/]).

Note that a minimal install of Fedora might not initially support some laptop hardware necessary for wireless networking after booting to the installed system.

Bootstrapping the dotfiles

Install git:

$ sudo dnf --setopt=install_weak_deps=False install git

Clone this repo:

$ cd
$ git clone https://git.kompot.si/urosm/dot.git .config

Disable showing untracked files in the repo:

$ cd .config
$ git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Some files need to be manually set-up.

Link [bashrc] and [bash_profile] to their correct place:

$ cd
$ rm .bashrc .bash_profile
$ ln -s /home/<user>/.config/bashrc /home/<user>/.bashrc
$ ln -s /home/<user>/.config/bash_profile /home/<user>/.bash_profile

To disable installing weak dependencies copy [dnf/dnf.conf] to it's place:

$ cd
$ sudo cp -i .config/dnf/dnf.conf /etc/dnf/

Clone (urosm/bin.git)[https://git.kompot.si/urosm/bin.git] to .local/bin:

$ cd
$ mkdir .local
$ git clone https://git.kompot.si/urosm/bin.git .local/bin
