#+TITLE: My configurations
#+AUTHOR: Case Duckworth

Here are my system configurations.  There are many like them but these are mine.

* Installation

Clone this repo to ~$XDG_CONFIG_HOME~, which in [[https://github.com/duckwork/etc/blob/main/profile/profile][profile/profile]] I've set to
~$HOME/etc~.  See that file for other XDG directories I've set to non-standard
places.  (Just in case something hard-codes ~$XDG_CONFIG_HOME~, I also symlink
them in =bootstrap.sh=, which see below.)

Instead of GNU Stow or a Makefile, I use a short =bootstrap.sh= script that reads
=bootstrap.manifest=, a tab-separated file mapping repo paths to paths in ~$HOME~.
It only contains files for programs that [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Support][aren't XDG-compliant]], so it should stay
short.

Anyway, run =bootstrap.sh= in this directory and you should be set.

* Programs to install

** Required

- bash + readline :: I prefer this shell over others, since I don't do anything
  super wild in the terminal nowadays anyway
- git :: Kind of required to do anything with this repo
- keychain :: Manages =ssh-agent=

** Extra

- mbsync :: For mail.

* Notes

- My [[https://tildegit.org/acdw/emacs][emacs configuration is elsewhere]], but it goes in ~$XDG_CONFIG_HOME~ as well.

* License

Everyone is permitted to do whatever with this software, without limitation.
This software comes without any warranty whatsoever, but with two pieces of
advice:

- Don't hurt yourself.
- Make good choices.
