Quickstart

  1. Clone the repository into your home directory:

    git clone --recurse-submodules --jobs 4 https://github.com/bardisty/dotfiles ~/dotfiles

  2. cd into the repository:

    cd ~/dotfiles

  3. Use GNU Stow to create and manage the required symlinks:

    stow <directory> e.g., stow mpv

Stow

Stow can be installed with your package manager, or you can build it from source.

By default, Stow will create symlinks in the parent directory of the current working directory. If your current working directory is ~/dotfiles and you run stow mpv, the following symlinks will be created:

~/.config/mpv/scripts => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/scripts
~/.config/mpv/shaders => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/shaders
~/.config/mpv/input.conf => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/input.conf
~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/mpv.conf

Stow doesn't print anything when a command succeeds. To see what's going on behind the scenes, pass in the verbose option (-v):

stow -v mpv

$ stow -v mpv
LINK: .config/mpv/scripts => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/scripts
LINK: .config/mpv/shaders => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/shaders
LINK: .config/mpv/input.conf => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/input.conf
LINK: .config/mpv/mpv.conf => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/mpv.conf

Delete

To delete any symlinks created by Stow, pass in the delete option (-D):

stow -D mpv

$ stow -v -D mpv
UNLINK: .config/mpv/scripts
UNLINK: .config/mpv/shaders
UNLINK: .config/mpv/input.conf
UNLINK: .config/mpv/mpv.conf

Restow

If new files or folders are added and need to be symlinked, or if obsolete symlinks in the target tree need to be pruned, pass in the restow option (-R):

stow -R mpv

$ stow -v -R mpv
UNLINK: .config/mpv/scripts
UNLINK: .config/mpv/shaders
UNLINK: .config/mpv/input.conf
UNLINK: .config/mpv/mpv.conf
LINK: .config/mpv/scripts => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/scripts (reverts previous action)
LINK: .config/mpv/shaders => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/shaders (reverts previous action)
LINK: .config/mpv/input.conf => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/input.conf (reverts previous action)
LINK: .config/mpv/mpv.conf => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/mpv.conf (reverts previous action)
LINK: .config/mpv/some-new-dir => ../../dotfiles/mpv/.config/mpv/some-new-dir

Target

Stow's default target directory is the parent of the current working directory. To change the target directory, pass in the target option (-t).

E.g., to install Zsh configs for the root user:

sudo stow -t /root zsh

$ sudo stow -v -t /root zsh
LINK: .zsh.d => ../home/bah/dotfiles/zsh/.zsh.d
LINK: .zprofile => ../home/bah/dotfiles/zsh/.zprofile
LINK: .zshrc => ../home/bah/dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc
LINK: .zshenv => ../home/bah/dotfiles/zsh/.zshenv

To delete the symlinks created in /root, pass in the delete option (-D) as well as the target option (-t):

sudo stow -t /root -D zsh

$ sudo stow -v -t /root -D zsh
UNLINK: .zsh.d
UNLINK: .zprofile
UNLINK: .zshrc
UNLINK: .zshenv
