My Dotfiles

Installation

Install git and clone this repository to ~/dotfiles/:

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/jonas-thiele/dotfiles.git
cd ~/dotfiles

Terminal settings

First, you need to configure your terminal emulator to use the correct color and font settings. I use the nord theme with the JetBrainsMono font patched nerd-font symbols.

gnome-terminal

Simply run ./bootstrap.sh setup-terminal-gnome to install the theme and font. To apply the settings you have to manually set Nord as the default profile. Then you need to enable Custom font in the Test tab of the preferences window and select JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono Regular. If the font doesn't show up, follow this guide: https://superuser.com/a/1549327.

Installing dotfiles, packages, and plugins

The command ./bootstrap.sh all does the following:

1. Install some basic packages (like vim and tmux). You will be asked to type in your password
2. Backup all the existing dotfiles in the home directory that will be overwritten with symlinks in step 3
3. Delete all of these existing dotfiles
4. Create symlinks to the new dotfiles.
5. Installs plugin managers for vim and tmux and runs them to install the plugins referenced in the dotfiles

Restart your terminal and you should be good to go.
