:herb: About

Thanks for dropping by!

This is my personal repository for my Arch dotfiles (always WIP)

Here are some information about my setup:

:wrench: Set up

:warning: Note: This configuration was made for my Laptop (Arch-based distribution specifically), so some things might not work on yours, in that case, please try if you can fix that up as much as possible, or you can open an issue for help :smile:.

This was made for a 1920x1080 and 75 dpi screen.

Most programs can be installed and used easily by following guides from their own GitHub (I already added as many links as possible). Some other harder ones I'll state below.

Preinstall

Just to be tidy, create a folder for your about-to-download packages as you would want to delete redundant things afterward.

mkdir ~/Downloads
cd ~/Downloads

Clone my dotfiles in advance for later uses (~/Downloads/dotfiles):

git clone https://github.com/HynDuf7/dotfiles

Let's set up the necessary scripts. Copy them to yours and grant execute permission (You don't need all the scripts. You can keep only the ones you need):

cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/bin ~/bin
chmod +x ~/bin/*

Add that ~/bin folder to your $PATH as well, in your .bashrc or .zshrc add the following:

export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

After that, source ~/.zshrc (or source ~/.bashrc) to update it though.

Dependency

First, we need yay and git (if you haven't had them):

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Then let's install all the needed packages:

yay -S bspwm brightnessctl dunst eww-git feh i3lock-color nerd-fonts-jetbrains-mono polybar pomo papirus-icon-theme ranger rofi rofi-calc rofi-emoji sxhkd ttf-fira-code ttf-iosevka-nerd ueberzug xdotool

Background Wallpaper

Copy the wallpapers into your ~/Pictures folder:

cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/wallpapers ~/Pictures

Firefox

Obsidian

I love Obsidian. It plays an important role in changing my life. I have templates for all kinds of things and it helps me organize my knowledge and life a lot easier.

I haven't included any thing about Obsidian here yet. But I will create a repo for my Obsidian workflow soon. Follow me for further details.

Polybar

Firstly, let's install Material Icon and Feathers for our polybar icons.

mkdir ~/.fonts
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection
cp -r ./polybar-collection/fonts/* ~/.fonts/
fc-cache -fv

Copy my polybar setup into yours:

cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/.config/polybar ~/.config/polybar

Enable autostart polybar when starting bspwm:

chmod +x ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh

Dunst

Copy my dunst configuration into yours:

cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/.config/dunst ~/.config/dunst

Rofi and Eww

Copy my rofi and eww configuration into yours:

cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/.config/rofi ~/.config/rofi
cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/.config/eww ~/.config/eww

In my ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc file, you can see some related keybindings:

super + c
    rofi -show drun -theme "$HOME/.config/rofi/themes/app-launcher.rasi"

super + alt + z
	~/bin/powermenu

super + shift + c
    rofi -show calc -modi calc -theme "$HOME/.config/rofi/themes/calc.rasi"

super + shift + x
    ~/bin/noticenter

super + shift + z
    ~/bin/wifimenu

super + shift + f
    ~/bin/calendar-launcher

super + shift + e
    rofi -modi emoji -show emoji -theme "$HOME/.config/rofi/themes/emojimenu.rasi"

Picom

:exclamation: I have changed to default picom (install through normal yay -S picom) for calmer experience. If you still want fancy animations, please proceed.

This is a picom fork with splendid animations, so we have to build it on our own.

First install all the dependencies required to build the compositor:

yay -S libconfig libev libxdg-basedir pcre pixman xcb-util-image xcb-util-renderutil hicolor-icon-theme libglvnd libx11 libxcb libxext libdbus asciidoc uthash

Then let's build it:

cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/pijulius/picom.git
cd picom/
meson --buildtype=release . build --prefix=/usr -Dwith_docs=true
sudo ninja -C build install

Copy my picom configuration into yours:

cp -r ~/Downloads/dotfiles/.config/picom ~/.config/picom

Sxhkd Keybindings

Others

For other ones please follow the link to the application you want to install and do it on your own. I believe you can do it in no time. Good luck :wink:

:exclamation: In case you are desperately stuck, open an issue. I would consider updating additional guides for the ones you need.
