# Daniel's Dotfiles
My personal Linux dotfiles.
I use Arch btw.
The root of this repo is equivalent to my $HOME directory.
## Note on this repository
I use this repository to sync and backup my dotfiles. This is done automatically
on a timer. Therefore, these configs are:
- Always up-to-date.
- Potentially broken on any given commit.
## Note On Keybindings
A note on keybindings: I use Colemak-DH, which is a non-qwerty keyboard layout.
I use either `MNEI` or the arrow keys (which is a mod key + `MNEI` on my
keyboard) for navigation, depending on a few different factors.
If `MNEI` conflicts with any defaults that would be far too finicky to remap, I
just use the arrow keys. Otherwise, I bind `MNEI` to navigation.
### Management
Currently I'm using `yadm` to manage these dotfiles. I have tried some other
solutions like `chezmoi` and `stow`, but this one has stuck for me. I highly
recommend it. I use [AutoYADM](https://github.com/ficcdaf/autoyadm) to automate
committing and pushing my changes.
If you see a file with a weird name, like `config##hostname.dbox`, it's
leveraging `yadm`'s alternate files feature; the program will automatically
symlink that file to its appropriate destination depending on which computer
it's on.
