# dotfiles

Miscellaneous config files, etc that I manage using [chezmoi](https://www.chezmoi.io).

## TODO

- add something similar to my [.bhell](https://github.com/highb/.bhell)

scripts here that will manage installing any necessary packages using some cobbled

together scripts that use _waves hands around_ a package manager (Nix, brew, etc.)

- determine a good way to sync the .config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml file, as well

- manage application color schemes in some sane way

- use some fancy templates and secrets manager stuff

- add other useful scripts powered by some useful shared libraries like https://gitlab.com/bertrand-benoit/scripts-common/-/blob/master/utilities.sh?ref_type=heads

# Home Directory Structure

This repository contains a partial layout of my home directory, which is managed and synced across Linux systems using [Chezmoi](https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi). Each directory with an organizational scheme typically has a README.md file for reference.

## Directory Structure

- **Applications/**

  - Directory for storing flatpak and AppImage files. Managed outside of Chezmoi.

  - *TODO:* Consider implementing an idempotent tool for flatpak management and installation.

- **bin/**

  - Directory for storing single binary tools and personal scripts. Scripts are synced by Chezmoi, while binaries are often directly downloaded.

  - *TODO:* Consider implementing an idempotent tool for binary management (aside from asdf). Could be nix?

- **Desktop/**

  - Generally empty, as I do not frequently access my desktop.

- **Documents/**

  - Various document artifacts, sorted into [PARA](https://fortelabs.co/blog/para/) subdirectories for ease of organization.

- **Downloads/**

  - Temporary landing area for downloaded files.

- **Music/**

  - Storage for MP3s and other music files. Largely unnecessary due to streaming services like Spotify or Synology.

- **Pictures/**

  - Various pictures, sorted into relevant categories. Image data related to [PARA](https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/) projects should be stored under Documents.

- **Public/**

  - Directory for shared files.

- **src/**

  - Directory for storing various source code repositories, organized by the organization that "owns" the source.

- **Templates/**

  - GNOME (Nautilus) file templates, accessible via the file browser's right-click menu. Potentially useful, but may not be frequently utilized.

  - This is apparently an XDG standard.

- **Videos/**

  - Directory for storing video content. Video data related to [PARA](https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/) projects should be stored under Documents.

- **Dotfiles (hidden files)**

  - Collection of dotfiles, managed and synced by Chezmoi. Only a subset of dotfiles that I care about are actively managed.

## Usage

This directory structure and file management helps maintain organization and consistency across my Linux systems. Each directory serves a specific purpose, facilitating efficient file management and access.
