Custom linux config files

Bash

• Before you do anything else you have to append the .bashrc to your ~/.bashrc file:

cat .bashrc >> ~/.bashrc

This will source all bash related files like aliases and prompt

Stow

We will use stow to link the dotfiles to our home folder.

• First install stow:

# Debian
sudo apt install stow
# Redhat
sudo dnf install stow

• By default stow links files to the parent working directory. We need to pass -t in order to set $HOME as the target dir:

stow -t ~ bash git nano tmux nvim

The above command will link the files inside stow/{bash,git,nano,tmux,nvim} to $HOME.

Tmux

To take advantage of the current tmux configuration file please first install Tmux Plugin Manager (TPM):

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

Key Bindings:

• Install new plugins

prefix + U

prefix + alt + u
