ericonr's dotfiles

Uses GNU stow for managing symlinks! The default .stowrc file is setup for my home directory, and for adopting files (overwrite existing files, bringing them into the repo).

Also uses Go programs to perform a few tasks.

In order to link all files, use

$ stow */

otherwise, for specific folders, use

$ stow folder

It's also recommended to create the ~/.local/bin and ~/.local/share directories before stowing the repository.

Sway + Waybar

This setup, which can be found on wm and script, requires the following dependencies:

• Basic setup:
  • sway: the Wayland compositor and tiling window manager.
    • swaylock
    • swaybg
    • swayidle
  • Xwayland: X server inside Wayland, for backwards compatibility.
  • waybar: customizable status bar.
  • jq: CLI JSON parser, necessary for keyboard layout implementation.
  • redshift: magic tool for avoiding eye burning. Needs to be the version patched for Sway/Wayland use.
• Default applications:
  • fish: the default shell.
    • starship: the prompt for fish.
  • alacritty: the default terminal emulator (and it has the dimensions option).
    • tmux: the main terminal shortcut launches tmux for multiple terminals in the same screen.
  • emacs: the default text editor (unfortunately, it has to run through Xwayland).
  • nvim: the default CLI text editor.
  • fzf: a wonderful fuzzy searcher, required by the self-built launcher.
  • spotify-tui: TUI for Spotify.
    • spotifyd: daemon for streaming Spotify stuff.
• Applications needed for media keys:
  • pulseaudio: the default audio daemon; pactl is used for controlling the volume.
  • brightnessctl: the default brightness controller; it's used for setting the backlight.
  • playerctl: player control from media keys.
  • grim: screenshots on wayland.
    • slurp: select a geometry on a wayland screen.
• Application needed for AppPauser keys:
  • AppPauser is used for making pausing the execution of any application that's started by it possible. It's my own application.
• Theming:
  • Liberation Sans font.
  • Breeze_Snow cursor theme.

Obs.: This configuration requires some executables that can be obtained from the sourcecode/ directory.

sourcecode

To install the executables inside this directory, it's necessary to run

go install ./...

inside it.
