dotfiles

About

Dotfiles for the i3 Fedora spin video on the testertech yt channel. This repo contains some pre-config for several programs:

• URxvt
  • Xresources
  • Some color schemes
• Bashrc
• Vimrc
• Autorandr (screen setups)
• i3conf
  • Picom
  • Polybar
  • Compton
• Xmodmap (change the mapping of the mod key)

How to use

• Repos should already be cloned when running the install.sh script in the YT video repo https://github.com/TesterTech/Fedora-i3-spin-w-testertech-spin-off

• Proceed as folllows:

• cd ~/git/dotfiles

• run the script ./make-symlinks.sh

• Follow the prompts

  • Be aware that this script doesnot make a backup for you of any existing files!
  • Note: on a clean install a standard .bashrc is often created, it's fine to remove it.
  • i3-wizard also creates a default ~/.config/i3/config file, you can also remove that if you have no config you want to keep.

• If you start vim (for the first time) it could complain about gruvbox, etc not being installed. Just hit enter and on the main vim screen type :PluginInstall and hit enter. It will install required plugins and you can exit vim (:q) and load vim again without any errors.
