My Debian Dotfiles

This is my Debian dotfiles (backup). Configuration files, useful scripts and aliases for my work, backgrounds, notes, hotkeys, various development tools, color schemes, etc. There are not only dotfiles here, but also some normal files that can be in /etc.

I'm lazy, so there's a script init.sh which initialize/configure my work environment automatically. I am using the latest stable version of Debian with Xfce.

The repository is updated frequently.

• Install the environment using a script:

Usage information:

$ ./init.sh --help

Attention. Be careful when running this script on your main machine, it does not create backup dotfiles and may erase your current working environment.

Clean home, update /etc/apt/sources.list, install required packages:

$ ./init.sh --clean-home --sources.list --install-packages

Configure $HOME environment:

$ ./init.sh --bashrc --bash-completion --local-bin --local-share

Configure Xfce environment and colors:

$ ./init.sh --xfce --xfce-hotkeys --xfce-terminal --dircolors

Text editors, terminal multiplexer, debuger, file navigation:

$ ./init.sh --vim --tmux --mc --mousepad --gdb

Mail client, RSS feed reader:

$ ./init.sh --neomutt --newsboat

The script has other useful options, but I think you won't need it.

Scripts

Location: .local/bin/

Few examples:
mygit.sh - manages all my git projects (simple git operations).
crypt.sh - encrypt/decrypt regular file with sensitive information (using a password).
deb-clean.sh - remove 'rc' (removed but not purged) packages plus debs autoremove and autoclean.
checksums.sh - wrapper script for 'md5sum' utility. actual to use together with crontab.
