Dotfiles

This is my dotfiles repository. Currently dotfiles are managed using stow. Dotfiles are currently being used on Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2.

Installation

• Install stow and git

sudo apt install stow git

git clone git@github.com:7h3f0x/dotfiles.git

or

git clone https://github.com/7h3f0x/dotfiles.git

• If .bashrc or .profile already exists

mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak
mv ~/.profile ~/.profile.bak

Similarly for any other such files/directories as well

• Loading zsh plugin's submodules

git submodule init
git submodule update

• Finally, run the install script

./install.sh

or manually setup for required programs like:

stow <program name>

• For nvim, install packer.nvim, then execute :PackerSync inside. Currently, this method works:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

Other things

Update zsh plugins

git submodule update --remote

Basic Glyphs

Methods available:

• For some of them:

sudo apt install fonts-powerline fonts-font-awesome

• Install a nerd font (preferred) from here

E.g., for Ubuntu Mono:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/UbuntuMono
cd ~/.local/share/fonts/UbuntuMono
wget "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/UbuntuMono/Regular/complete/Ubuntu%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf"
wget "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/UbuntuMono/Regular-Italic/complete/Ubuntu%20Mono%20Italic%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf"
wget "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/UbuntuMono/Bold/complete/Ubuntu%20Mono%20Bold%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf"
wget "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/UbuntuMono/Bold-Italic/complete/Ubuntu%20Mono%20Bold%20Italic%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf"

for Hack (Monospace glyphs)

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/Hack
cd ~/.local/share/fonts/Hack
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/Hack/Regular/complete/Hack%20Regular%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/Hack/Italic/complete/Hack%20Italic%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/Hack/BoldItalic/complete/Hack%20Bold%20Italic%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/Hack/Bold/complete/Hack%20Bold%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf

NOTE For Windows Terminal, get fonts from here, install all files included in zip file from release

• Use fontconfig to prepend nerd icons

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/
cd ~/.local/share/fonts/
wget "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/NerdFontsSymbolsOnly/complete/Symbols-2048-em%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf"

mkdir -p ~/.config/fontconfig
cd ~/.config/fontconfig

cat << EOF > fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

    <match>
        <test qual="any" name="family">
