intro

The legend goes that dot-files arose from a bug in the earliest days of UNIX: in an effort to avoid listing the . and .. entries of a directory, the ls command skipped files that began with the '.' character. As a result, any file with a name beginning with '.' was not reported by ls, i.e. it was a "hidden" file. A user's home directory was a convenient place to put user-specific configuration files, but such files were also an eyesore; one popular solution to this problem was to make those configuration files hidden so that they wouldn't annoy the user. Thus, the tradition of dot-files was born.

disclaimer

• Basically, I am new to this dotfiles world, so i cant guarantee that everything works exactly as in mine
• A lot more to be done. I have planned to do the rest after my exams are over
• My setup is heavily dependent on scripts : ~/dotfiles_ikigai/scripts/
• Yeah i do use and tweak other peoples dotfiles. It's more of like getting inspired (~‾▿‾)~

themes

as of now , the themes included in dots are :

• Hooked On A Feeling
• Summer Of My Smiles
• The Tricolor Flag

installing

start by cloning the repo to the root of your home directory ~/dotfiles_ikigai by

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/yedhink/dotfiles_ikigai

all the above mentioned applications are necessary for proper working and usage of my config. most of packages could be easily installed, but finding some of those is a bit tricky. so here are the links to applications which i found hard to find in the first place :)

• nms -> decryption effects
• lolcat -> rainbow effects
• task -> todo list
• zathura -> my pdf viewer
• figlet -> the 3D fonts
• betterlockscreen -> an excellent lockscreen

make use of stow to make the installation easier. stow is available for all linux and most other unix like distributions via your package manager.

• sudo pacman -S stow
• sudo apt-get install stow
• brew install stow

or clone it from source and build it yourself.

how stow works

note: stow can only create a symlink if a config file does not already exist. if a default file was created upon program installation you must delete it first before you can install a new one with stow. this does not apply to directories, only files

by default the stow command will create symlinks for files in the parent directory of where you execute the command. so my dotfiles setup assumes this repo is located in the root of your home directory ~/dotfiles_ikigai. and all stow commands should be executed in that directory. otherwise you'll need to use the -d flag with the repo directory location.

to install most of my configs you execute the stow command with the folder name as the only argument.

to install my i3 configs use the command:

stow i3

this will symlink files to ~/.config/i3 and various other places.

you can always look through all files and cherry pick the required files too , like i would've done¯\_(ツ)_/¯

vim-plugins

I make use of certain vim-plugins , which contributes to an easier workflow. My plugin manager is Vundle , so you will have to install that first.
To install the plugins for yourself , use my .vimrc file. You can easily copy it to your home(~) directory or symlink it. Then from vim last line mode execute PluginInstall. Ta da....!! Easy as it can be.

about

Some people fear the command line. Others consider it arcane and obsolete. Many of us know the truth, though; often, command line tools are just the right tools for the job.

My terminal emulator of choice is the lightweight, unicode, 256 color urxvt. I make use of bash as my interactive shell. I love vim , thus i try to use applications which can support or can be configured to use vim like keybindings.

previews

theme-hooked on a feeling

included in dotfiles_ikigai/i3_hooked_on_a_feeling directory.

autostarting terminal after boot up

add any one of the applications you want on startup , to ~/dotfiles_ikigai/scripts/init_workspace.sh
detailed comments are provided in the file

the ultimate super user prompt :D

{♥‿♥} For me whenever I become "su", i need to be made aware of how "mighty" my powers are, since i've done stupid stuff before. :D

make use of the file ~/dotfiles_ikiga/etc/bash.bashrc to get the below output. (of course the requirements should already be installed)

busy

vim, ranger, ncmpcpp, htop in action

almighty-vim

"So dark ! You sure you're not from the DC Universe?"

ncmpcpp - lightweight music player and visualizer

"Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy? "

qutebrowser - with my precious dark theme that saves me from the evil light

"we wants it. we needs it. Must have the precious"

make use of ~/dotfiles_ikigai/.config/qutebrowser/inspected_css/sd.css for the theme

privacy above all

isn't this soothing for your eyes?

fun part - ascii is pure art

all ascii scripts are available in the scripts folder

betterlockscreen - what a beauty!

Brilliant work Pavan Jadhaw

the wallpapers are changed automatically using ~/dotfiles_ikigai/scripts/lockscreen.sh script. Add it to your .xinitrc just like i have done in mine

rofi

launch all kind of applications with ease
