## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-07-12 01:22:07 -04:00
|
|
|
Use [GNU Stow][stow] (`apt install stow`, etc.). The repo has a `.stowrc` which
|
|
|
|
|
should target your home directory as the installation directory, but in some
|
|
|
|
|
cases the `~` may not be evaluated and you'll have to specify
|
|
|
|
|
`--target="$HOME"`.

|
|
|
Install the essentials with `stow zsh vim git`.

## Notes

### Git
|

|
|
|
Most of my git configuration lives in `~/.config/git/personal.gitconfig`, which
|
|
|
|
|
is `include`d from `~/.gitconfig`. I do this to separate system-specific
|
|
|
|
|
configuration that may be set by automated tools (i.e. the Github CLI setting up
|
|
|
|
|
credential managers for guthub.com and gist.github.com) from my personal,
|
|
|
|
|
cross-platform configuration (e.g. my identity and aliases).

|
|
|
Keep configuration that should be synced between computers in the
|
|
|
|
|
`personal.gitconfig` file, and after cloning the repository, consider telling
|
|
|
|
|
Git to ignore local changes to the main `.gitconfig` file:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git update-index --skip-worktree git/.gitconfig

Files in `~/.local/share/color-schemes` come from [my repo of KDE titlebar color
