Installation

I manage my dotfiles with gnu stow, a symlink farm manager. It's available in most linux distributions.

• sudo apt install stow
• sudo dnf install stow
• sudo yum install stow
• sudo pacman install stow
• brew install stow

or

$ curl https://git.io/JILE5 | sh

or clone it from source and build it yourself.

Once stow is installed, just cd into this repository and create symlinks using stow like this:

• cd ~
• git clone https://gitlab.com/Abdullah/cfg.git
• cd cfg
• stow vim

It will symlink vim. If you wanna use this configurations for root user, use -t argument,

• stow -t /root vim

Note: stow will only create a symlink if a config file doesn't already exist. You must delete/backup if there is a default config for a program.

Lemonbar

Lemonbar is a lightweight bar entirely based on XCB. Provides full UTF-8 support, basic formatting, RandR and Xinerama support and EWMH compliance without wasting your precious memory. You can compile it from Source Code. In Arch Linux there is a PKGBUILD.

Polybar

Polybar is a stylish status bar. You have to compile it from source for some distributions. It's now available in Arch Linux official repositories. As a dependency, you can install Font Awesome, which is available in official repositories in Arch Linux.
