My Dotfiles collection

Install

Clone repo into user folder

git clone [email protected]:FredricW/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

"Install" the desired configs

cd ~/dotfiles/
stow neovim --no-folding

--no-folding means that no folders will be symlinked, only the files. If a tree is symlinked (meaning a folder is symlinked), then new files and folders added by other programs will be adopted into the stow directory and tracked (which we usually don't want for dotfiles).

Or install all of them

stow /* --no-folding

Remove a config

stow neovim -D --no-folding

Add new files / create a new config

A config is just the top level folders within the stow directory (which in this case is the root of the repo). So to track the config of a new program, simply create a new folder with its name:

mkdir ~/dotfiles/lunarvim

Then move the configuration files from their original location, to their equivalent location within the newly added config (~/dotfiles/lunarvim/) folder:

mv ~/.config/lvim/config.lua ~/dotfiles/lunarvim/.config/lvim/config.lua

Then add symlinks back with stow

stow lunarvim --no-folding

It is important that the path is exactly the same! All that is different is where it begins.
