# About my dotfiles



My _.dotfiles_ for **ViM, DWM, zsh, alacritty** for linux based

distributions. For all my programs and shell, I mainly use [solarized

colors](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) and **Inconsolata** font.



## Requirements



- **ViM** decent version, does not require any interpreters like **ruby**

  or **python**. Run **make vim** to compile with python2 support. When

  python is available **YouCompleteMe** autocompletion plugin will be

  plugged, otherwise supertab, which is less powerful.

- **git** to manage modules and install vim

- **zsh** if used as a default shell client

- **wget** to download fonts

- **256** color terminal client for the best experience, consider [st](http://st.suckless.org/)

or [urxvt](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Rxvt-unicode)



To install **dmenu** as application launcher:



    git clone https://github.com/l3pp4rd/dmenu.git ~/.dmenu && cd ~/.dmenu



You most probably need to change the **X11** lib header file location if

you are not using arch linux:



    vim config.mk

    make

    sudo make install # will install it in /usr/local/bin



## tmuxstart



To prevent ruby dependencies, I manage my **tmux** sessions with

[tmuxstart](https://github.com/treyhunner/tmuxstart). Before that I was

using **tmuxinator**. One session example is

**~/.dotfiles/tmuxstart/dotfiles**. There is a **dmenu** executable to

run **workspace** switch.

## Installation



Clone the repository:



    clone git://github.com/l3pp4rd/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles



### Tmux



You should consider reading about **tmux** (terminal session manager) and

install it. **tmuxstart** is also a handy tool to be used with tmux. If

you use **st** tmux will provide tabs and history scrolling support. Mouse

scroll in urxvt suck and most of the times, tabs and history scrolling

are not working well as general terminal features. So lets just follow

UNIX philosophy and install tmux which is a tool built to handle it.



### Zsh



If you do not use **zsh** ignore the .zshrc installation, otherwise you

could try to use it instead of bash - install **zsh** first and use it as

your default shell by running:



    chsh -s $(which zsh)



### ViM



A **python** and **X** support may be useful in most cases to have with

vim. **X** support will allow to copy and paste from the same buffer and

with python come some useful plugins. Anyway it is not necessary to

compile vim on your own to setup these dotfiles, usually **python** is

builtin, but if you do:



    make vim



### Install dotfiles



**WARNING:** analyze **Makefile** before you execute it, this will force

symlinks for various dotfiles like **gitconfig**. Make sure to update for

your needs..



    make



To update **git modules**, **fonts** and **vim** plugins from time to

time:



    make update



**NOTE:** most configurations use **Inconsolata** fonts, you should

install or change it.



## Status bar



This fancy statusbar has now [separate

repository](https://github.com/l3pp4rd/statusbar). You can choose

something else based on your preference or windows manager.



## Window Manager



If you are tired of bloated desktops like gnome, kde.. whatever, would

recommend to try [dwm](http://dwm.suckless.org/)



**NOTE:** look how to manage it as an xsession in order to provide

a possibility to be used inline with a login manager like **slim**.
