⚡️ Quick Start with GNU Stow

GNU Stow makes managing and symlinking dotfiles effortless.
Warning: This will overwrite any existing configuration files. Back up your current configs before proceeding.

1. Install Dependencies

• Arch Linux:

  sudo pacman -S git stow

• Debian/Ubuntu:

  sudo apt install git stow

2. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/qasimsk20/dots.git
cd dots

3. Symlink Configurations with Stow

From inside the cloned dots directory, run:

stow hypr
stow waybar
stow rofi
stow dunst
stow ghostty
stow swaylock

• You can stow only the components you use, or all of them.
• For example, to use only Waybar, just run:

  stow waybar

Tip: To remove a component later, simply run:
stow -D

🛡️ Best Practices

• Backup first:
  Before stowing, back up any existing configs you wish to keep.
• Partial installs:
  Only stow what you need—e.g., stow hypr waybar for just Hyprland and Waybar.
• Version control:
  All configs are tracked in git, making it easy to roll back changes or sync across machines.
