Dotfiles

This repository contains useful (config) files.

There are two branches:

main contains dotfiles intended to be used on all kinds of machines and can be thought of as a "minimal" or "server" version. It targets Debian 13 but is kept working on older versions and other distributions as well. desktop is (re-)based on top of main and adds configurations for GNOME 48+ on X11 and many applications, be it end-user software or common development utilities.

SSH Keys

If I told you to go here and copy/paste my public ssh keys to give me access to one of your servers, find them either here or here.

Installation

Simply run:

curl https://code.webartifex.de/alexander/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/.local/bin/dotfiles-install > dotfiles-install && sh ./dotfiles-install && rm ./dotfiles-install

or

wget https://code.webartifex.de/alexander/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/.local/bin/dotfiles-install -O dotfiles-install && sh ./dotfiles-install && rm ./dotfiles-install

This downloads a simple installation script and then executes it. The script's only dependency is git. So, it should not be too hard to get this going.

The repository is cloned as a bare repository into ~/.local/share/dotfiles and its files are checked out into ~/ directly. Pre-existing files are backed up to ~/.local/state/dotfiles-backups beforehand. Afterwards, the files can be managed with the dotfiles alias, for example, dotfiles status or dotfiles pull.

The above commands install the main variant. To install the desktop variant, switch to the desktop branch first.

Normally, I advise against executing shell scripts from the internet, but this one is short enough to be read even by beginners. So, convince yourself that it is not harmful!

Shells

The config files in this repository are optimized for usage with GNU's Bourne again shell, or bash for short, and the popular zsh.
