This is a collection of setup scripts, configuration files and notes that I find useful for my daily workflow and my choice of tools and environments.
This will install and set up terminal programs like vim, zsh, tmux and some more tools.
When setting up a vanilla system (Debian based, i.e. Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 as well as Stretch), I do:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pylipp/dotfiles ~/.files
bash ~/.files/setup/basic_setup.bash
My DE of choice is i3. After some experiments, I decided to strive for a minimalistic configuration using package-built-in tools (i3status, i3lock). Additional scripts for system interaction (screen locking, shutdown, volume control, sensor information) can be found in i3/.
For installation, run
bash ~/.files/setup/setup_i3.bash
Run
bash ~/.files/setup/install_core_utils.bash
See setup/ for specific installation scripts.
