Dotfiles Setup

This repo uses GNU Stow to symlink config files into your home directory (~) instead of copying them.

1. Install Stow

• macOS:

  brew install stow
  

• Linux:

  sudo apt install stow
  

---

2. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Toha764/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

---

3. Apply configs

stow -d <parent directory> -t ~ <package name or * for all>

OS-specific configs

• macOS:

  stow -d ~/dotfiles/os/mac -t ~ *
  

• Linux:

  stow -d ~/dotfiles/os/linux -t ~ *
  

Or install just one:

stow -d ~/dotfiles/os/mac -t ~ zsh

Shared configs (packages)

Example:

stow -d ~/dotfiles/packages -t ~ tmux

---

Stow creates symlinks in ~ pointing to files in this repo.

---
