dotfiles

My personal dotfiles used for Arch Linux. Use at your own risk ;)

Key apps and tools

• emacs
• zsh
• conky
• rofi
• mopidy
• xmonad

Design choices

• Dotfiles managed with pure git (simple and not many other machines that require different configs)
• All user environmental variables set in .pam_environment (as opposed to the shell's rc file) to make them available for systemd user units.
• XDG specification followed as closely as possible for all supported apps to keep $HOME clean while putting most of the key config files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. For apps that are only partially supported, I use a combination of these:
  • environement variables in .pam_environment
  • aliases in zshrc
  • override commands in $PATH (for systemd user units)
• I have two user executable directories: $HOME/.bin and $HOME/.local/bin. The former is for all my custom scripts and the latter is for user level programs installed by other tools such as Python's pip install and Haskell's stack --install.
