Introduction

This repository contains my personal dotfiles, which I use to configure my development environment on Linux Mint. I manage these dotfiles using GNU Stow, a symlink manager that makes it easy to keep configurations organized and portable.

Getting Started

To set up these dotfiles on your machine, you’ll need:

• Linux Mint (or any Unix-like system)
• GNU Stow installed

Installation

Clone this repository to your home directory:

git clone https://github.com/muhammadpadanta/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

Then, navigate into the dotfiles directory and use stow to symlink the configurations:

cd ~/dotfiles
stow <package>

Replace <package> with the name of the config folder you want to stow (e.g., nvim, fish, etc.).

Directory Structure

Each directory in this repository represents a set of related configuration files. For example:

• nvim/: Configuration files for Neovim
• fish/: Fish shell settings
• starship/: Starship prompt configuration

Example Usage

To set up all configurations at once, simply run:

stow *

Or, if you only want specific configurations:

stow nvim
stow fish

Notes

• If you encounter conflicts, you might already have config files in place. Consider backing them up before running stow.
• The symlinks created by Stow are placed relative to your home directory. If something looks off, check the symlink paths.

Customization

Feel free to fork and adjust these dotfiles to match your preferences. They’re meant to be a starting point that you can build upon.
