Dotfiles

A collection of config files I use on a daily basis on multiple hosts running Arch Linux. My dotfiles are managed using the method described in the Arch wiki dotfiles article.

Install

git clone --bare git@github.com:roosta/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dot='/usr/bin/git --git-dir="$HOME/.dotfiles/" --work-tree="$HOME"'
dot checkout
dot config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
dot submodule update --init --recursive

Conflict

In case there are issues doing checkout, due to conflicting stock files, you can run this script to back move them to the directory .dotfiles-backup.

mkdir -p .dotfiles-backup && \
dotfiles checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .dotfiles-backup/{}

Dependencies

Dependencies are tracked in .dependencies.yml and is installed using install-packages.sh from the scripts submodule.

Requirements

# Install dependency script requirements
sudo pacman -S --needed git yq base-devel

# Build and install paru
cd ~/build
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si

Usage

# Script will default to ~/.dependencies.yml
# Optionally pass a dependency yml file
~/scripts/install-packages.sh

Git hooks

Make sure dependencies pre-commit and gitleaks are installed via .dependencies.yml or install manually.

GIT_DIR=$HOME/.dotfiles/ GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME pre-commit install

Configuration

GKT

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Iosevka 10'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme ritual-icons
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Breeze'

QT

Settings are stored in .config/kdeglobals, and uses a custom color scheme built atop the Breeze theme.

Tip

To Access color settings among others install the optional dependency plasma-integration

Ritual Shell

ritual_demo.mp4

Hyprland and Quickshell is used for the custom desktop shell based on the Srcery colorscheme.

Configuration

Per-host Quickshell configuration is kept in .config/quickshell/config/Config.qml and Hyprland config also requires host configuration for the monitor setup located at .config/hypr/monitors.
