Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal Linux configuration files, managed using GNU Stow.
It allows me to reproduce my environment on any new machine with minimal manual setup.

Setup on a New Machine

1. Install Git and Stow

sudo apt install git stow -y

2. Clone the Repository

git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

3. Bootstrap Dotfiles

./bootstrap-dotfiles.sh

This script:

  • Detects conflicting files
  • Backs them up to ~/dotfiles_backup_<timestamp>
  • Removes originals
  • Applies stow packages

Full Provisioning

If you want to install apps and apply dotfiles at once:

./provision.sh

This installs packages (git, stow, tmux, alacritty, starship, etc.) and uses the bootstrap script to apply dotfiles automatically.

Notes

  • Do not store secrets or private keys in this repo.
  • Stow operations are reversible using stow -D <package>.
