About

Dotfiles are user configuration files found in your home folder under the hidden directories of the XDG Base Directory Specification. I've also looped in system configuration files (commonly found in /etc) in this repository via a ~/root -> / mount which can be found in /etc/fstab.

Compiling from Source

This directory doesn't contain source code, so there's no need to compile anything. If you'd like to use my dotfiles, checkout CARS or run the following commands in order:

• mkdir -p ~/development/other/dotfiles
• cd ~/development/other/dotfiles
• git --bare init
• git remote add origin git@github.com:ChristianHering/dotfiles.git
• git --git-dir=$HOME/development/other/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME pull origin master
• git --git-dir=$HOME/development/other/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME submodule update --init --recursive

Then manually merge files located in ~/root into /. And to finish off, setup the ~/root bind mount.

• echo -e "# root -> / 'symlink'\n/ /home/administrator/root none defaults,bind 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
• sudo mount -a
• sudo systemctl daemon-reload

After that, you should be able to type 'exit' or 'reboot' to start using your new environment.
