Dotfiles

What are Dotfiles?

The reason I have dotfiles is for a few reasons. The first is that I use my PC and a few laptops interchangeably, and having my configurations easily downloadable is a big time saver. The second reason why I have my dotfiles up is because maybe somebody is looking for a certain baseline for their configurations, and if they find it well, I am more than happy to help that person. The third reason is just in case something happens to one of my laptops or my PC. I suggest that if you have configuration files, you should back them up on your preferred git host.

What are in my Dotfiles?

In my Dotfiles, I have created an install script written in Bash that automatically installs all of my configurations and the software I use, giving the end user my setup. I wouldn't suggest the average person use my setup as-is, but rather to take my configs and modify them, thereby making it their own!

I will not go in-depth about the software I use since I have already done that on the software page. Instead of including all my software, I have only included the essential software in the install script, as different computers serve different purposes. Additionally, I have programmed a part of the script to install any missing firmware, eliminating those annoying warning messages during package installation. While I can't guarantee this will work on all computers, it has successfully fixed all missing firmware on every computer I've tested it on so far. If you still encounter warning messages, please refer to the Arch Wiki page to see what firmware you need to install.
