This repository contains the majority of application or OS configuration files I use on a daily basis. I keep them public in an effort to inform others who may not know either how to go about organizing such files or to learn how to achieve certain behavior in their software and to have quick and easy access for myself when setting up a new machine.

Setup

NOTE: Unless you're me, you probably shouldn't use my setup exactly. Just take chunks you like instead! Backup your files first!

git clone 'https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/dotfiles.git' '~/.config/dotfiles'
cd '~/.config/dotfiles' && ./setup.bash # follow the instructions!

Priorities

• Productivity

• Primarily configured for Linux
• Terminal-based applications that play well with others
• Quick setup
• Portability

Primary Applications

• Terminal: Kitty + tmux

• Browser: Firefox
• Music: Google Play Music in Firefox

Workflow

Coming someday... maybe!

Improvements

• Makefile instead of setup script
• Vulkan is broken on my desktop
• c (and similar aliases) could utilize CDPATH envvar?
• Better/more secure remote management configuration in dotfiles? 1
• Add vim in the terminal as the handler for many MIME types (xdg-open and such) for the rare time I'm in a file manager or for opening easily from the browser.
• Unify all the common variables... somehow? (and use templates and envsubst?)
• Vimux?
• Custom Iosevka font with kitty-compatible ligatures?
• Setup network file share?
• Investigate systemd services that may help with various tasks (homed, etc.)
