kelen's dotfiles

This repository is designed to sync and restore my working environment, including: setting up bash/zsh with required environment variables, linking tool configs (mainly about scientific calculations and seismic waveform inversion), restoring the window manager with backup options, and managing additional resources such as package management backups, symbol fonts, and wallpapers. I follow XDG standards for linking and provide an install script. Your existing dotfiles are backed up in a 'bak' folder for safety.

Styles

"Keep it simple stupid."

Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement

1. Making visual improvements and customization to your desktop and/or phone that can simplify your desktop environment but (generally) are completely pointless.

2. Wasting time because aesthetic.

How to use

Warning: A word of caution, I am actively working with Debian and Gentoo. Do not blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

Run this to install:

git clone https://github.com/yingchangliu/dotfiles.git --recurse-submodules --depth=1
cd ~/dotfiles
./install

Note: You may need to modify shellrc/zshplugin.zsh to fit your distribution. Package managers put their plugins in different directories.

Typing uninstall will restore your original settings.

sh ./install uninstall

Feel free to change the dotfiles as you see fit.
