My custom setup for bash, tmux, Fastfetch, and Starship using GNU Stow.

git clone <repo-url> ~/dotfiles-repo
cd ~/dotfiles-repo
./setup.sh

The script will:

• Install missing packages: stow, fzf, tmux, fastfetch, starship, zoxide.
  • fastfetch → installed via .deb (apt-compatible)
  • starship → installed via curl (binary to ~/.local/bin)
  • zoxide → installed via curl (binary to ~/.local/bin)
• Backup existing dotfiles (.bashrc, .tmux.conf, Fastfetch & Starship configs).
• Symlink dotfiles into your home directory via GNU Stow.
• Adds Fastfetch ASCII art to ~/ascii.
• Update your .bashrc with:
  • PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" so local binaries are picked up
  • Initialization of Starship + Zoxide
  • Conditional Fastfetch + tmux auto-start

• Changed default prefix key from Ctrl+b to ` (backtick).
• Mouse support enabled for sanity.
• Scrollback increased to 10,000 lines (default 2,000).
• Vim key bindings enabled in scrollmode
• Pane borders customized (cool looking).
• 1-based indexing for windows and panes (default starts at 0).
• Minimalist status bar (cool looking).

To completely revert changes:

./undo.sh

The script will:

• Remove symlinks created by Stow.
• Restore backed-up configs (.bashrc, .tmux.conf, Starship & Fastfetch configs).
• Uninstall packages (unless you keep them):
  • Removes fastfetch, tmux, and stow via apt remove --purge.
  • Removes starship binary from ~/.local/bin.
  • Removes zoxide binary from ~/.local/bin and its manpages if present.
• Restart your shell (exec bash) so the clean .bashrc is loaded immediately.

If you only want to undo the symlinks and restore backups but keep installed packages, run:

./undo.sh --keep-installed-packages
# or the shorter alias
./undo.sh --keep-pkgs

This will:

• Restore backups and remove symlinks.
• Skip uninstalling apt packages, Starship, and Zoxide.
• Still restart your shell for a clean environment.

1. Starship and Zoxide are installed locally (~/.local/bin). If you want system-wide install, you can adjust the setup script.
2. If you run into stow warnings like:

   BUG in find_stowed_path? Absolute/relative mismatch ...

   it usually means Stow is crossing into Windows-mounted directories under WSL. This can be safely ignored if your dotfiles are working as expected.
