# intro

The legend goes that dot-files arose from a bug in the earliest days of UNIX: in an effort to avoid listing the . and .. entries of a directory, the ls command skipped files that began with the '.' character. As a result, any file with a name beginning with '.' was not reported by ls, i.e. it was a "hidden" file. A user's home directory was a convenient place to put user-specific configuration files, but such files were also an eyesore; one popular solution to this problem was to make those configuration files hidden so that they wouldn't annoy the user. Thus, the tradition of dot-files was born.

# disclaimer

* Basically, I am new to this dotfiles world, so i cant guarantee that everything works exactly as in mine
* A lot more to be done. I have planned to do the [rest](#To-be-done-after-my-exams) after my exams are over
* My setup is heavily dependent on scripts : `~/dotfiles_ikigai/scripts/ `
* Yeah i do use and tweak other peoples dotfiles. It's more of like getting inspired `(~โ€พโ–ฟโ€พ)~`

# themes
**as of now , the themes included in dots are :**
- [Hooked On A Feeling](#theme-hooked-on-a-feeling)
- [Summer Of My Smiles](#theme-summer-of-my-smiles)
- [The Tricolor Flag](#theme-the-tricolor-flag)

# installing

start by cloning the repo to the root of your home directory `~/dotfiles_ikigai` by
```bash
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/yedhink/dotfiles_ikigai
```

all the above mentioned applications are necessary for proper working and usage of my config. most of packages could be easily installed, but finding some of those is a bit tricky. so here are the links to applications which i found hard to find in the first place :)
* [nms](https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets) -> decryption effects
* [lolcat](https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat) -> rainbow effects
* [task](https://taskwarrior.org/) -> todo list
* [zathura](https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/installation/) -> my pdf viewer
* [figlet](http://www.figlet.org/) -> the 3D fonts
* [betterlockscreen](https://github.com/pavanjadhaw/betterlockscreen) -> an excellent lockscreen

make use of stow to make the installation easier. stow is available for all linux and most other unix like distributions via your package manager.

- `sudo pacman -S stow`
- `sudo apt-get install stow`
- `brew install stow`

or clone it [from source](https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=stow) and [build it](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/stow.git/tree/INSTALL) yourself.

# how stow works

**note:** stow can only create a symlink if a config file does not already exist. if a default file was created upon program installation you must delete it first before you can install a new one with stow. this does not apply to directories, only files

by default the stow command will create symlinks for files in the parent directory of where you execute the command. so my dotfiles setup assumes this repo is located in the root of your home directory `~/dotfiles_ikigai`. and all stow commands should be executed in that directory. otherwise you'll need to use the `-d` flag with the repo directory location.

to install most of my configs you execute the stow command with the folder name as the only argument.

to install my **i3** configs use the command:

`stow i3`

this will symlink files to `~/.config/i3` and various other places.

**you can always look through all files and cherry pick the required files too , like i would've done`ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ`**

## vim-plugins

I make use of certain vim-plugins , which contributes to an easier workflow. My plugin manager is [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim) , so you will have to install that first.
To install the plugins for yourself , use my .vimrc file. You can easily copy it to your home(~) directory or symlink it. Then from vim last line mode execute `PluginInstall`. Ta da....!! Easy as it can
be.

# about

Some people fear the command line. Others consider it arcane and obsolete. Many of us know the truth, though; often, command line tools are just the right tools for the job.

My terminal emulator of choice is the lightweight, unicode, 256 color [urxvt](http://linux.die.net/man/1/urxvt). I make use of [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) as my interactive shell. I love vim , thus i try to use applications which can support or can be configured to use vim like keybindings.
