Dotfiles

This repository contains my dotfiles of which I still use (and improve) most. Recursively clone this project to ensure that all submodules are pulled. Be aware that Awesome WM Copycats contains submodules itself.

Installation

I recommend using GNU Stow. With this application installed, using e.g. my bash dotfiles is as easy as executing stow -t ~ bash in the repository root. Nota bene: both fonts and system must be executed with the target directory parameter set to /. For more information, please refer to the GNU Stow manual.
