Dotfiles

This repository contains dotfiles for my vanilla ArchLinux/i3wm setup.

Versioning Files For Different Machines

Although the vast majority of configurations are machine-agnostic, some minor tweaks are required.
The versioning of machine-specific configurations is based ongit branches: this makes it easy to switch between different versions while keeping a common basis between them.
Branch-based-versioning works as follows:

              - [Branch A] → Host A Tweaks
            /
0xv1 → 0xv2
            \
              - [Branch B] → Host B Tweaks

The idea is that the common configuration are in the main branch and machine specific configurations are added on top of it in specific branches.
Then, to version the configuration for a specific machine, all it takes is switching to the dedicated branch with git checkout <hostname>.

Installing Dotfiles

Dotfiles are installed on a machine using the stow command. To install dotfiles on a machine, run the following command:

stow home -t ~/
