kelen's dotfiles

This repository is designed to sync and restore my working environment, including: setting up bash/zsh with required environment variables, linking tool configs, restoring the window manager with backup options, and managing additional resources such as package management backups, symbol fonts, and wallpapers. I follow XDG standards for linking and provide an install script. Your existing dotfiles are backed up in a 'bak' folder for safety.

Styles

"Keep it simple stupid."

ri • cing /ry-sing/

1. Making visual improvements and customization to your desktop and/or phone that can simplify your desktop environment but (generally) are completely pointless.
2. Wasting time because aesthetic.

How to use

Warning: A word of caution, I am actively working with Arch Linux, Debian and Gentoo. Do not blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

Run this to install:

git clone https://github.com/yingchangliu/dotfiles.git --recurse-submodules --depth=1
cd ~/dotfiles
./install

Note: You may need to modify shellrc/zshplugin.zsh to fit your distribution. Package managers put their plugins in different directories.

Typing uninstall will restore your original settings.

sh ./install uninstall
