My dotfiles. The current iteration utilizes GNU Stow via make
. This setup is inspired by this post.
This README
is designed to be almost a lights-out installation and setup guide for new machines, too.
Base installation process follows this article for Arch (btw).
- Create a user
- Add user to
sudoers
- Install package manager
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si
cd ~
rm -rf paru
MacPorts is assumed for macOS. Use sudo port selfupdate
to update the local ports tree.
# Generate a new SSH key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
# add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub to Github
mkdir ~/git/
git clone [email protected]:sarumont/dotfiles.git ~/git/dotfiles
cd ~/git/dotfiles
paru -S stow
make # installs all links
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) disk
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) storage
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) users
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) input
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) audio
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) video
This repo stores global git configuration in ~/.config/git/config
. This leaves ~/.gitconfig
for local overrides. You can set your name and email:
git config --global user.name Zaphod Beeblebrox
git config --global user.email [email protected]
We need to configure git
to use your SSH key as the signing key. There should only be one key in your keyring if you've followed these instructions. If you have multiple keys, copy-paste the one you want to use rather than using the ssh-add -L
command below.
git config --global user.signingkey "$(ssh-add -L)"
git config --global gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile ~/.ssh/allowed_signers
echo EMAIL $(ssh-add -L) > ~/.ssh/allowed_signers
Note that these commands need to be run after installing keychain
Local overrides are managed via stow
using the make host
command. This looks for a dir called .hosts-$(hostname)
and applies that as a vault. This applies side-by-side, so it does not support overwriting.
The following local zsh overrides are supported:
.aliases.zsh
->.local/sh/aliases.zsh
.functions.zsh
->.local/sh/functions.zsh
.zlogin
->.local/sh/zlogin
.zshenv
->.local/sh/zshenv
&&.local/sh/*.zshenv
.zshrc
->.local/sh/zshrc
You can set OBSIDIAN_VAULT_DIR
in your ~/.local/sh/zshenv
to point to an Obsidian Vault. This allows obsidian.nvim
to utilize it. It defaults to ~/notes
I have a private repository that is an overlay on top of this one called privfiles
. I now manage it the same way (with stow
) and use it to store e.g. secrets and configurations which I do not want to be public knowledge.

Configure power management via the Arch Wiki article. Also this Framework thread is useful, especially for GPU rendering config.

Now, configure and mount your music dir. Drop the following into ~/.local/beets/config.yaml
:
directory: /media/chocobo/music
library: /home/sarumont/.local/beets/library.blb
import:
log: /home/sarumont/.local/beets/import.log
And begin the import!

I ripped this idea from Waylon Walker. Basically, this creates a directory that is a "gallery" of projects, tying into tmux keybindings (see C-w
). You can add multiple galleries (work, oss, etc.) and corresponding keybindings in your tmux.conf
.
I keep this as a zsh
function inside of ~/.local/sh/functions.zsh
and run it periodically to keep the galleries up to date:
update_link_galleries() {
rm -rf ~/work
mkdir ~/work
ln -sf ~/github.com/myorganization/* ~/work
rm -rf ~/work
mkdir ~/work
ln -sf ~/work/* ~/git
}
