These are the dotfiles that I use on an Ubuntu and an Arch machine. I keep them on a selfhosted git server for easy synchronization, and mirror them to github so that others can use parts of them as well.

Installation?

I'd advise against using my setup currently. I am currently in the process of writing a script that will automatically install the various software dependencies of my setup, which will be usable on Arch and Ubuntu systems. Once that is finished it might actually make sense to install them.

Theoretically they could be installed by cloning this repo to ~/.dotfiles and running ~/.dotfiles/.local/bin/dotsync. This script requires gnu stow to be installed, which symlinks the dotfiles to the correct locations. The script will download the submodules that exist in this repo. This includes the source code for a modified dwm, dmenu and dwmblocks, which can be optionally compiled and installed by the dotsync script.

Warnings

My .zprofile automatically starts the custom xinit script if logged in on TTY1 and no other X server is running. This is because I use the default getty and want to automatically start dwm after logging in.

The custom xinit script runs the remaps script which in turn loads a modified dvorak keymap. An older iteration of this script is a bit saner and allows toggling between the default keymaps.

The remaps script is also automatically run by the remapd script whenever a keyboard is plugged in. This script is started during xinit here.
