dotfiles

Quickstart

Execute the following command to setup the dotfiles script:

bash <(wget -o /dev/null -O - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrkanister/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh")

What does it do

• Use Process Substitution to avoid temporary files
• Make sure Git is installed
• Clone this repository to $HOME/.config/dotfiles
• Create a symlink to dotfiles.sh as /usr/local/bin/dotfiles
• Run dotfiles

Subsequent calls to dotfiles will update the repository and also the script itself. After that, it's mostly copying configurations to $HOME and installing new software from the software.list file.

Compatibility

I am currently using dotfiles on the following machines:

• Laptop: Kubuntu 24.04

This means that some of the configurations (e.g. dolphinrc) will probably only make sense on a system running KDE applications.
