dotfiles

The files that make my home directory, mine.

Nogweii's dotfiles

It just wouldn't be ~/🏠 without these.

Installation

rake

You're done.

Layout

This repo is structured to follow the .local convention, to a degree. I only want a single subdirectory of nesting beneath ~/.local/, rather than 2 or 3 that would result in fully honoring the FHS.

As such, here is the resulting tree:

HOME
├─ .local
│ ├─ bin
│ ├─ etc
│ ├─ lib
│ ├─ share
│ ├─ srv
│ ├─ tmp
│ └─ var
│
├─ docs
├─ desktop
└─ media
  ├─ music
  ├─ photos
  └─ videos

With the following environment variables used to configure XDG-honoring software to adhere to it:

Variable	Location
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`	`~/.local/etc`
`XDG_DATA_HOME`	`~/.local/share`
`XDG_CACHE_HOME`	`~/.local/cache`
`XDG_STATE_HOME`	`~/.local/var`
`TMPDIR`	`~/.local/tmp`
`XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR`	`~/Downloads`
`XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR`	`~/.local/srv`
`XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR`	`~/docs`
`XDG_MUSIC_DIR`	`~/media/music`
`XDG_PICTURES_DIR`	`~/media/photos`
`XDG_VIDEOS_DIR`	`~/media/videos`
`XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR`	`~/.local/share/templates`
`XDG_DESKTOP_DIR`	`~/desktop`
`XDG_BIN_DIR`(*)	`~/.local/bin`

* means it is a non-standard environment variable
