About

Hi, welcome to my dotfiles repository.

Here are the development environment configuration I use on a daily basis, going from server configurations for remotes and window manager settings.

Curiousity brought you here, maybe you want to install this configuration to try it by yourself, otherwise feel free to look around :)

Still have a doubt about what you want from here ? You might want to take a look at the gallery.

Installation

Requirements

• jq
• fzf
• w3m
• bitwarden-cli
• bitwarden-rofi
• git

Per distro instructions

Arch

For Arch Linux users, you can simply execute the .config/setup.sh script and get going.

Other distributions

I recommend taking a look at the .config/setup.sh script and comment out everything special to Arch (pacman and yay section). Then, I advise to install all packages from source if you run into issues, since everything is meant to be used with latest versions (looking at you neovim).

Dotfiles installation

• Clone the repository

git clone --bare https://git.halia.dev/therbron/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

• Define a one time alias

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

• Checkout the content from the git repository to your $HOME

dotfiles checkout

From this point on, if you have zsh installed, the dotfiles alias will be added to your shell by default. Otherwise, you might want to add it yourself or instasll zsh.

Keybinds

These are the most used and basic keybinds. You might want to read through .config/i3/config to find more keybindings and add your own.

Note: Mod is by default set to the window key
Note: Navigation keys (hjkl) can be substituted by arrow keys

Frequently asked questions

What is the point of using multiple terminal emulators ?

Some machines, lacking discrete or recent GPU, will not be able to start Alacritty. This is the main reason to have xterm as a backup terminal.
