This repository contains various dotfiles that I find useful.
Every dotfile is divided into its own GNU
stow compatible directory. You will want to
ensure you have your own local dotfiles
directory where these files can be
stored. I'd recommend ~/dotfiles
as a suitable location.
# Get latest version locally
git clone https://github.com/breadtk/dotfiles.git "~/dotfiles/"
cd ~/dotfiles
# Run installer to install all of the dotfiles
./manage.sh install
# (optional) Stow only a single application
stow kitty
The included .gitconfig
configures Git to use
git-credential-manager
with the secretservice
credential store.
This requires the git-credential-manager package and the libsecret
library (often provided by the secret-tool
command). If these tools are not
available you can switch to another helper, such as git-credential-libsecret
or the built in store
helper.
To change or disable the credential helper:
# Remove the helper entirely
git config --global --unset credential.helper
# Use the simple file-based store instead
git config --global credential.helper store
