Flammie’s dotfiles

This is a quick and dirty documentation for my dotfiles. Dotfiles means configuration files in unix-style systems. They are in your home directory ($HOME or ~) and the filename starts with a full stop, that is also called a dot in some circles.

The dot is omitted from the names within the git repo dotfiles, there’s a partial script to sync home directory and dotfiles repo as well.

Configurations per app

For the following softwares and configurations have “documentation” or a rant or some such attached:

• pass the password store for command-line
• fontconfig and color emoji (2019)
• mutt
• imapfilter
• vim and gvim
• i3
• powerline, partially replaced with:
  • pureline
• editorconfig
• terms:
  • gnome-terminal, which does not have dotfiles but only a sad binary blob, (I’d rather use any other terminal but they get discontinued or lack features:
  • rxvt-unicode, which ironically lacks unicode support
  • termite, which doesn’t work without monkeypatched vte that is a PITA to keep up with
  • roxterm, which is discontinued
  • sakura, has some serious bugs and unresponsive upstream
  • kitty a modern GPU-optimised(!) terminal
• rclone, a command-line interface for cloud backup, like rsync for dropbox, google drive, etc.

• Gcalcli command line client for google calendar
• systemd is a notorious system daemon that actually has user configurations stuffs
