Dotfiles

Personal dotfiles for Arch Linux and Debian servers.

Quick Install

Fresh machine (one-liner):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spaceCabbage/dotfiles/arch/install.sh | bash

With custom GitHub username:

GITHUB_USER=someone curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/someone/dotfiles/arch/install.sh | bash

Already cloned:

cd ~/dotfiles && ./install.sh

What It Does

1. Detects distro (Arch or Debian)
2. Installs git and yay (on Arch)
3. Clones this repo to ~/dotfiles
4. Installs packages from packages.txt
5. Installs tools via curl (starship, rustup, bun, uv)
6. Creates symlinks (backs up existing files to ~/.dotfiles-backup/)
7. Creates ~/.bashrc_local for machine-specific config

Symlinks Created

Source	Target
terminal/.bashrc	~/.bashrc
terminal/.bash_aliases	~/.bash_aliases
terminal/.tmux.conf	~/.tmux.conf
terminal/starship.toml	~/.config/starship.toml
nvim/	~/.config/nvim
konsole/ configs	~/.config/ (Arch only)

Packages

Edit packages.txt to customize. One package per line, comments with #.

Tools installed via curl (not package manager):

• starship - prompt
• rustup - Rust toolchain
• bun - JavaScript runtime
• uv - Python package manager

Updating

Re-run the install script anytime to pull the latest changes:

cd ~/dotfiles && ./install.sh

This will:

• Pull the latest dotfiles from GitHub
• Install any new packages
• Update symlinks if needed
• Install new tmux plugins

Safe to run multiple times - existing correct symlinks are skipped, and any conflicting files are backed up to ~/.dotfiles-backup/.
