• configs

Eww (Status Bar)

• configs
• scripts
  Please don't judge my rust skills based off of playerctl_spot, I just wanted to replace a bash script that was super unweildy.
  • It's not published anywhere so you'll have to build from source¹.

Versions

For the most part I use the stable variants of the programs configured here, with the following special cases.

Eww

I used a patched version which can be found in it's entirety here. It includes changes from the two following PRs, which may have been upstreamed by the time you are reading this:

• elkowar/eww#577
• elkowar/eww#578

Picom

I currently use the ibhagwan fork on my desktop.

Using

Steps to use (warning this will overwrite any settings defined by this repo):

1. Clone the repo

   git clone --bare [email protected]:oldwomanjosiah/dots.git $HOME/.dotrepo

2. Check out the initial branch into your home directory

   git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotrepo --work-tree=$HOME checkout -f

3. Make Changes!²
4. Commit changes back
   You're going to want to check in files individually, which can be a pain. You can use the -u flag on add if you want to just update files which were previously checked in, but there's not a great way (that I know of, please write in) to automatically ignore everything you don't want checked in³.

   git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotrepo --work-tree=$HOME add <file...>
   # or
   git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotrepo --work-tree=$HOME add -u

5. Push!
   You'll have to add your own remote for this, instead of using mine. If it's better than what I've got, I'd love to see it!

Alias

You'll note that most of the commands, other than the initial clone, use the same prefix. This can relatively easily be automated:

For bash

echo 'function dit() { git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotrepo --work-tree=$HOME "$@" } >> ~/.bashrc'

For fish

echo 'function dit(); git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotrepo --work-tree=$HOME $argv; end' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

which will then allow you to do

dit add <file...>

instead! Pretty fun

Footnotes

1. You'll need a recent stable rust toolchain, and to run the following (be sure you want to do this, I'm practically a stranger).

   cd ~/.config/eww/scripts/playerctl_spot/
   cargo install --path .

2. I don't actually care what you do here (I'm not your boss 😔) ↩

3. you can add the following to the bottom of ~/.dotrepo/config to hide untracked files at the very least. It's easy to forget to check in work this way though, so use at your own risk.

   [status]
       showUntrackedFiles = no
