DT's Dotfiles

What Are Dotfiles?

Desktop Scrot
Desktop Scrot

Dotfiles are the customization files that are used to personalize your Linux or other Unix-based system. You can tell that a file is a dotfile because the name of the file will begin with a perioda dot! The period at the beginning of a filename or directory name indicates that it is a hidden file or directory. This repository contains my personal dotfiles. They are stored here for convenience so that I may quickly access them on new machines or new installs. Also, others may find some of my configurations helpful in customizing their own dotfiles.

My Window Manager Configs

Awesome Bspwm Dwm Herbstluftwm
i3-gaps JWM LeftWM Openbox
Qtile Spectrwm XMonad

NOTE: With Openbox, you may also want my tint2 panel config and dt-dark-theme GTK theme.

Who Am I?

I am Derek Taylor (DT), the creator of the DistroTube channel (also DT) on YouTube. In my videos, I focus a lot of my attention on minimal window managers such as openbox, dwm, qtile, i3 and xmonad. I also focus heavily on command line programs and extensible text editors such as Vim and Emacs. Viewers of my channel will often ask me for my configuration files for these programs. This repository serves a triple function:

  1. As a place to point viewers who ask me for my configs.
  2. As a learning resource for those that wish to study my configs.
  3. As a backup and restore option for myself should the need arise.

Support DT's Work

Making great content in the form of videos and in the form of these dotfiles is time consuming and a lot of work. Since the pandemic, being a video content creator has been full-time job, and I need your support. Consider subscribing to my Patreon or make a one-time donation through PayPal. Those of you on Odysee can send LBC as a tip.

How To Manage Your Own Dotfiles

There are a hundred ways to manage your dotfiles. Personally, I use the git bare repository method for managing my dotfiles. Here is an article about this method of managing your dotfiles: https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/">https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/
