My collection of dotfiles for different applications that I considered noteworthy.
No install scripts, just pure dotfiles.

Tip

If you're looking for bash scripts, take a look at my bash-scripts repository since I've moved them there.

If you're instead looking for NixOS configuration files, take a look at my nixfiles repository since I've moved them there.

Keybindings

Note

Whenever you see mainMod below, keep in mind that for my keybindings, I swap my Alt and Windows key, and then I set my caps lock key to also function as a Windows key.

The setup might seem weird but it works great for me.

I swap the Alt and Windows key so that way it's easier to press my mainMod, because the actual location of the Windows key is a bit tight on the thumb.

The reason I swap the keys instead of just setting Alt as mainMod, is because Alt is an actually useful key that gets used every once in a while, and I didn't want to remove its functionality. The Windows key is the perfect replacement for mainMod since the actual key doesn't usually register to anything by default in linux distros.

Now for the caps lock being bound to the Windows key, this is done so I can have comfortable hand positions and expand my bind possibilities. For example, to toggle a window between floating and not, i use mainMod+space, and it's much easier to hit caps lock and space with my pinkie and thumb than it is to hit the Alt key and space.

Installation

---

My dotfiles now use GNU Stow for management, so installation is easier than ever.

What is GNU Stow?

According to the gnu.org site:
"GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place."

To begin installation, first clone the repository to your $HOME directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/0lswitcher/dotfiles.git

Tip

You can optionally clone the repository to any other desired directory in your system, just make sure you know how to use stow with -t flag set to your $HOME directory.

Next, ensure you have stow installed in your systems package manager.
With stow installed, getting the dotfiles is as easy as removing or backing up any previous dots you want to change:
(I'll use hyprland for this example-)

Removal:

$ rm -r ~/.config/hypr

Or, alternatively;

Backup:

$ mv ~/.config/hypr ~/.config/hypr.bk

Then, navigating to the cloned repository directory and running:

$ stow <desired-dotfile-name>

That's it!

For example, if you want to use my hyprland dots, run:

$ stow hypr

I've written multiple README's regarding different configs, so I highly encourage browsing deeper within the repository either through the links provided below, or by manually checking the file tree above.

Note

If you don't see the package or configuration linked below, it doesn't have a README yet. Feel free to open an issue in the repository online, and I'll prioritize that README next.
