This repository contains all of my custom configurations for programs I use daily.

Setup and installation procedure

1. Clone this repository to ~/Dotfiles

2. Construct the following directories:

   • ~/.local

     • src
     • bin
     • lib
     • share
   • ~/.config
   • ~/Downloads
   • ~/Code
   • ~/Media
   • ~/Projects
3. Install GNU/stow

4. Pick and choose what configurations you want

   • To install a module use stow <module>
   • To remove a module use stow -D <module>

Installing Emacs

I like a specific set of flags on my Emacs install, and my configuration kind of depends on them existing as well. Prepackaged installs just won't cut it. So I'd highly recommend cloning and building my personal Emacs repo (currently v29).

Or just run the following lines:

cd ~/.local/src;
git clone git@github.com:oreodave/emacs-29-custom emacs;
cd emacs;
sh personal-install; # Will configure, build and attempt to install

Emacs archives

At https://aryadevchavali.com/resources/ I want a kind of updated version of my configuration which contains most of my Emacs configuration. This is so I can quick start on most machines without having to pull the repositories for packages first, just spend time building bytecode.

This script generates the archive:

tar -Jcvf emacs-config.tar.xz \
    ~/.config/emacs/app.org \
    ~/.config/emacs/config.org \
    ~/.config/emacs/core.org \
    ~/.config/emacs/lang.org \
    ~/.config/emacs/early-init.el \
    ~/.config/emacs/init.el \
    ~/.config/emacs/elisp/ \
    ~/.config/emacs/straight

And this script sends it over via rsync

rsync -avz --info=progress2 --info=name0 emacs-config.tar.xz root@aryadevchavali.com:/var/www/html/resources
