This is how the final setup looks like

How to set up my dotfiles?

Easy just git clone the repo anywhere on your system go into that directory

git clone https://github.com/HarshK200/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

DO NOT REMOVE THIS GIT CLONED DIRECTORY!!!

since we'll be using symlinks to point to it and a simple git pull can easliy get you up to date with my dotfiles

Make sure stow is installed on your system

sudo apt-get install stow

Also for neovim make sure you have grep and ripgrep installed since the telescope plugin utilizes those

sudo apt-get install grep ripgrep

For tmux config you'll need first stow tmux from dotfiles and then install tpm i.e. tmux plugin manager NOTE: you must install tpm in the ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm path by using git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm

and then after starting tmux type: prefix: ctrl + s followed by: shift + i

then just run the following command from within the repo directory

making the symlinks (if you have no idea what those are just copy the below commands and run them)

stow -v -R -t ~ nvim
stow -v -R -t ~ tmux
stow -v -R -t ~ kitty
stow -v -R -t ~ i3
stow -v -R -t ~ rofi
stow -v -R -t ~ scripts
stow -v -R -t ~ zsh

You can pick and choose which dotfiles you want from the above symlinks and just run the specific command have fun!
