Modern dots configuration for any linux distro

Overview

Modern dotfiles configuration for any Linux distribution. This repository contains configurations for various applications designed to enhance workflow and customize the Linux environment.

Quick Installation

Clone the repository with shallow history to save bandwidth and disk space :

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/void-land/void-dots.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

The --depth 1 flag fetches only the latest commit, significantly reducing clone time and repository size.

Deploying Dotfiles

Execute the stow script to create symbolic links :

./stow.sh

This script automatically symlinks the configuration files from ~/.dotfiles to their appropriate locations in the home directory. The actual files remain in the repository while appearing in the expected locations through symlinks.

Removing Symlinks

To remove all symlinks created by stow :

stow -u

Notes

Backup existing configuration files before running stow to avoid conflicts. If stow reports that target files already exist, remove or rename them before proceeding.
