Stow & Git

GNU Stow is a software installation manager for Unix-like operating systems which helps manage the installation, removal, and maintenance of software packages. It works by creating symlinks to files within package directories, allowing you to easily enable or disable specific software versions. This helps keep software organized in a clean, centralized manner and prevents conflicts between different versions of the same software.

#! /bin/bash
set -e
set -x
cd ~
if [ -d ".dotfiles" ]; then
    echo ".dotfiles directory exists. Pulling latest updates."
    cd .dotfiles
    git pull || true
    git submodule update --init --recursive
else
	cd .dotfiles
    echo ".dotfiles directory does not exist. Cloning repo."
    git clone https://github.com/snehrbass/dotfiles.git .dotfiles --recurse-submodules
fi

Paru

Paru is an Arch Linux package manager written in Rust. It is a community-driven project aiming to be a feature-rich and user-friendly alternative to the default package manager, Pacman. Paru allows users to install, upgrade, and remove packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR) as well as from the official Arch Linux repositories. It provides additional functionality like dependency resolution, parallel downloads, and automatic conflict resolution.

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
if ! command -v paru &> /dev/null; then
    git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
    cd paru
    makepkg -si
    cd -
    rm -r paru
fi

Install Packages

Installed Required packages + optional ones.

read -p "Do you want to update packages? (yes/no): " choice

if [[ "$choice" == "yes" ]]; then
	paru -Syu
    paru --needed -S - < ~/.dotfiles/pkglist.txt
else
    echo "Skipping package update."
fi

Keyboard

Login

I used greetd with Hyprland and regreet. Manually copy greetd to /etc/greetd make sure the greetd user can read files.

read -p "Do you want to install greetd.service? (yes/no): " choice
if [[ "$choice" == "yes" ]]; then
	cd ~/.dotfiles/ || exit
	sudo cp -r greetd/ /etc/greetd/ 
	sudo systemctl enable greetd.service
else
    echo "Skipping Spicetify update."

Eww

Shitty Lisp like graphical widget system.

Sorry but I decided to start rewritting all my scripts as a monolithic go program, embed resources into it, and use dbus clients.

Install Eww

Eww is not maintained so we I needed to merge a few PR’s. Need to build my fork for system tray and check boxes. Might need to run rustup update.

read -p "Do you want install/rebuild Eww? (yes/no): " choice
if [[ "$choice" == "yes" ]]; then
    mkdir -p ~/src
    cd ~/src/ || exit
    if [ -d "eww" ]; then
        echo "Eww directory exists. Pulling latest updates."
        cd eww || exit
        git pull
    else
        echo "Eww directory does not exist. Cloning repo."

Get the active profile from profiles.ini and symlink chrome folder into place. Required extentions are installed via my firefox account after login.

set font to Product Sans

read -p "Do you want to update Firefox CSS? (yes/no): " choice

Emacs

My Emacs config can be found in Here. I clone emacs-git (GNU Emacs 30.0.50) then modify the PKGBUILD for wayland and such then I build it with makepkg -sCi. will probably work mostly fine with version 29.

Building takes a sec and and also run M-x package-upgrade-all to finish installing stuff.

read -p "Do you want install/rebuild Emacs? (yes/no): " choice
if [[ "$choice" == "yes" ]]; then
    mkdir -p ~/src
    cd ~/src/ || exit
    if [ -d "emacs-git" ]; then
        echo "Emacs-git directory exists. Pulling latest updates."
        cd emacs-git || exit
        git pull || true
    else
        echo "Emacs-git directory does not exist. Cloning repo."
        git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/emacs-git.git
        cd emacs-git || exit
    fi
	git reset --hard HEAD
    git apply < ~/.dotfiles/emacs_build.patch && makepkg -si
    cd ~ || exit
else
    echo "Skipping Emacs 😞."
