dots

Instructions not included.

I typically just keep this repo cloned at ~/Projects/dots and then use symlinks in my home, ~/.config, and ~/.local folders, pointed at the appropriate resources. Allows for easy "continuous development" of sorts.

The only exception to this approach, is the ./emptty folder, which contains its own README that explains what to do with it.

Notes

I've tried to keep everything as "user agnostic" as possible, except for a couple limitations:

• ./.config/aria2/aria2.conf won't allow you to use ~, %h, or $HOME to complete a user's home directory. So unfortunately, download and session directories are hardcoded.

As of 2024-08-23 the above is no longer the case. The offending lines have been removed from the configuration file, and instead are set in the start-aria2c script as command parameters.

• Some files in ./.local/bin may have hardcoded paths, and would need a quick glance over before you try to use them. I'd instead suggest just cherry picking files in this directory to suit your needs.
