This is a collection of my dotfiles. I am just starting to build them up in March of 2017. I am currently running an Arch Linux pseudo-server and am using an Apple laptop.
I will update this README with more links, tips, and information as I grow my dotfiles.
This repo has vim-infolines as a submodule. After cloning a repo with a submodule, the submodules need to be initialized and updated.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/username/repo.gitIf the repo containing submodules has already been cloned, update them.
git submodule update --init --recursiveCommand to update a submodule:
git submodule update --remoteI use GNU Stow to manage my dotfiles. This allows me to easily create symlinks on any *nix-based system I am using. I chose Stow because it is easily and universally available on *nix machines. I do use Windows boxes, but I don't see myself needing the majority of my dotfiles on those machines. One tool I found when looking for Windows alternatives is stow-lite but I have not used it yet. I also chose stow because I would be able to use it to manage config files that are not in ~/. In the future, I can use stow to deploy centralized config files across my system(s).
I ran into a bit of an issue when creating the symlinks on Sierra. I kept getting an error message referencing .DS_Store files. After some Googling, I found that if you run Stow with an --ignore flag for .DS_Store, that error will not pop.
$ stow -v --ignore ".DS_Store" -t ~/ folder
You can also create a .stow-global-ignore file in your home directory and add .DS_Store to that file.
When stowing grub, run as sudo with -Rv flags and --target of /
$ sudo stow -Rv -t / grub
These are some of the links that I found useful when figuring out how to manage dotfiles and when setting up the programs they configure.

- Pick your font family:
- If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with Nerd Font Mono (or NFM).
- If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without Mono i.e. Nerd Font (or NF). Most terminals support this, but ymmv.
- If you work in a proportional context (GUI elements or edit a presentation etc) pick a font with Nerd Font Propo (or NFP). This information is from the FiraCode section at this GitHub
