# Minimal Dotfiles
|
|
|
|
A deliberately minimal dotfile configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Philosophy
|
|
|
|
Over the years I have grown tired of tweaking config files for every component of my desktop.
|
|
This repository contains only the essentials.
|
|
|
|
Start with a minimal Debian 13 (Trixie) install — SSH server and system essentials only, no desktop environment. Run `bootstrap.sh` followed by `install.sh` to get up and running. For additional tooling, see the `scripts/` folder.
|
|
|
|
|

## Desktop Bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Start with a minimal Debian 13 (Trixie) install — SSH server and system essentials only, no desktop environment.
|
|
|
|
Then run the bootstrap script to set up DMS, Helium, and GTK theming:
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap.sh
|
|
|
|
Once complete, restore personal files from backup (SSH keys, documents, projects, fonts, wallpapers, local binaries/scripts), then continue with the steps below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Software Installation
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository and run the install script:
|
|
|
|
### Install Options
|
|
|
|
# Interactive mode (with confirmations)
|
|
./install.sh
|
|
|
|
# Only create symlinks
|
|
./install.sh -l
|
|
|
|
# Only install packages
|
|
./install.sh -i
|
|
|
|
## What Gets Installed
|
|
|
|
The script installs essential development tools via `apt`:
|
|
|
|
- **CLI Tools**: `wget`, `curl`, `fzf`, `fd-find`, `ripgrep`, `tree`, `btop`, `direnv`, `bat`, `jq`, `lf`, `unzip`
|
|
- **Development**: `build-essential`, `make`, `bear`, `valgrind`
|
|
- **Shell**: `fish`
|
|
- **Terminal**: `alacritty`
|
|
- **Multiplexer**: `tmux`
|
|
- **Other**: `ca-certificates`, `gnupg`, `libfuse2`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Symlinks Created
|
|
|
|
- `~/.tmux.conf` → `./config/tmux/.tmux.conf`
|
|
- `~/.config/alacritty` → `./config/alacritty`
|
|
- `~/.config/fish` → `./config/fish`
|
|
- `~/.config/kanata` → `./config/kanata`
|
|
- `~/.config/nvim` → `./config/nvim`
|
|
- `~/.config/gitu` → `./config/gitu`
|
|
- `~/.config/lf` → `./config/lf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Scripts
|
|
|
|
Self-contained recipes for tooling that goes beyond the core install. Each script can be run independently as needed:
|
|
|
|
./scripts/setup_docker
|
|
./scripts/setup_golang
|
|
./scripts/setup_kanata
|
|
|
|
These are not run automatically by `install.sh` — they are opt-in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This setup prioritizes **stability** and **simplicity** over customization. DankMaterialShell with niri handles the heavy lifting for tiling and aesthetics.
