My dotfiles

This directory contains the dotfiles for my systems

Requirements

Ensure you have the following installed on your system

• git
• stow
• byobu
• trash-cli
• mc (midnight commander)

sudo apt install git stow byobu trash-cli mc

Installation

First, check out the dotfiles repo in your $HOME directory using git

$ git clone {REPO GOES HERE}/username/.dotfiles.git
$ cd .dotfiles

then use GNU stow to create symlinks

$ stow .

if stow is upset because there are already files there, and you're okay with obliterating them, you can have stow adopt the files, then restore the git repository

$ stow . --adopt
$ git restore .
